Hey Patty. This is a new form for me as I've never even seen one before. I do say however, that the subject is a little disturbing. Everyone is capable and entitled to be loved and to love without having to be concerned if that love is returned. You did great on this one my friend. xoxo Kiwi

    thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I believe some people just don't believe they are lovable, and have a difficult time accepting the love given so freely,

kind of a till death do us part love affair friend. One needs reassurance that they are the light that the other craves. The other then calms the troubled mind of the doubting lover. It is a cool concept and I did enjoy it!

A very well-written katauta suite. I believe this is the way the katauta should be. Cryptic notes between two lovers. We sometimes feel doubtful of our own abilities and it is comforting when someone close tells us we have nothing to fear.

Never encountered that form before but to the best of my knowledge you carried it off magnificently. I love dialogue poems and this to-and-fro is a complete romance in just a few lines.

Well done. I really enjoyed this. Another lesson in yet another poetic form. I also loved the honouring of our Saviour in there as well. Not to mention the lovely picture.

This is such a beautiful, honest poem. I like the way it portrays two voices--his and hers. She has her doubts and he is constantly reassuring. To me, it seems as if this pair is well suited.

Hello again Patty:

Thank you for sharing this lesson on the Katauta poem. Your poem is an excellent example for me on how this poem is written and the poem itself presents an interesting and realistic conversation between two lovers. NICE...

This is a very interesting poetry form. One thing I really enjoy about fanstory is the various new poetry forms I keep discovering. Each provides new challenges and opportunities to perfect one's writing.
You certainly provided a nice example of the form. The question and answer format is certainly successful. Being that the purpose is romance, I had an expectation of more imagery. I really liked "spirits entwine" and would have enjoyed more.

A striking presentation in this Katauta series. You have set up this nice poem in an easily readable form as to which one is speaking. This is an interesting style that intrigues. Good job with this. Marilyn
