Thanks for sharing this poem, Patty.

In reading it, I could not help but recall a recent post of mine where the character was having a conversation with his inner voice. JW

    thank you so much for the lovely review. This is a conversation between two people, but one needs reassurance about their love, and the other is willing to give it,

I thought it was kind of sad that one person was so insecure. I wondered why it is that if he loves her so much she feels so unlovable. Do his actions not match his words?

    Hi Cindy; I think there are some people that still feel unlovable - even if their partner is doing everything right,

This is an interesting form. I like your poem content. I've always thought it is better to love wisely, one of the worst feelings in the world is having to doubt someone you thought was unquestionable.

All the best...

How I would respond, if given the privilege.
No one created by God is unlovable.
You can't possibly see what I see. I see a creature of God in need of love.
I don't know the depths of you, yet. That takes time.
A thought provoking premise.

    Hi Marv; thank you for the wonderful interpretation of the conversation between the two characters. It is often that one partner simply feels that are not lovable, and the other partner needs to give constant reassurance,

    I enjoyed your review,

    Hi Mitch; thank you so much for the high praise. I enjoyed putting this poem together. The chance to use dialogue between two lovers to show the emotions was challenging.

    I so appreciate the lovely, shining, sixth star,

I like this conversational poem. It speaks of the unconventional nature of love as told by William Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night's Dream. It gives confidence to the beloved and a reason to be for the lover.

This a lovely romantic poem. And I must say how wonderfully crafted it is to meet the requirements of a katauta. The kind of love in the poem is what most people desire, and those in love, after reading the poem, may just feel absolutely complete.
