This essence poem, From the Beginning, has both the internal and end rhyme, and six-syllables-per-line requirements. The joy of tripping the light fantastic with a newfound love interest is heady stuff.

Really a beautiful piece! You are able to capture the excitement of a first time together and also suggest true love with "hints we'll dance forever" It's such a happy piece and the artwork makes it that much more so! Just beautiful. The internal rhyme is there with chance and dance, and the end rhyme with endeavor and forever. The title and the description are perfect and add to the meaning. I think this is a true contest contender!

A very well-written essence poem about the first time we meet someone and immediately know that we belong together for the rest of our lives and there is a special bond that cannot easily be broken.

This is WOW! The artwork is fab and so is the verse. This is beautifully done. Thank you for this. You should print a few and enter them in an art show! People love these kind of gifts for weddings, engagements and anniversaries. I hope to see more of you here on FanStory. Of course, I am new, so everyone is sorta new to me.
Kindest regards to you and yours,
Sally

Ooooooooooh! Well done indeed! This wee jewel is so romantic. Fabulous use of language to tell a story, with correct syllable count for the format, and wonderful rhyme -- I'm predicting a winner!
