Comment from Lady Jane
Well, I enjoyed this brief visit to the site, Dear Dip. I found no errors and I feel your words flowed melodically from stanza to stanza and created a heartfelt poem that is to be admired. All I have left is you was a pleasure to read. I have no corrections or edits to suggest. The rhyme was good, structure cohesive, and content/verbiage used was useful and consistent. An all around strong write. Love the pic also. Your notes were fun to read. It's only 7:30 here :) WA state...greetings, dear Dip! Keep writing and surfing. You're only as old as you feel.

Wow thanks Janelle, glad you liked it You have made my day. is WA Western Australia? or Washington something in America.
As for surfing I am on my way back over to the Mentawais Islands in Sumatra next Sunday with my eldest son and a few friends for an 11 day surf trip staying on a tropical island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Thank you so much Donette you are way too kind but I will surely take all the accolades I can get. I would love to have more time to review these days but I just can't spread it far enough to spend it here on a daily basis or even reviewing. After 5 years of posting two poems a day and reviewing for up to 6 hours I just can't fit it in in my present situation so I really do appreciate you going to the trouble. If you like my work there is over 4000 poems I have posted here since coming in May 2013 so there is a lot of back reading to do lol

Such a romantic poem. You commentary is quite interesting as well. It's longer than your poem. Maybe the better writing too. You have a unique quirkiness I like. Good job.

Hello Dr Dipp, a lovely original title 'All that's left of me is you' - I love it. Your poem is beautifully human and written from the heart. A well versed piece and I enjoyed the read very much - a really lovely poem. Warm regards Dorothy x
Oh to find the fountain of youth! - Let me know if you find it LOL!

Linda what a beautiful thing to say to me. You ALWAYS make me feel good about my humble poems. I write in simple words but always from the heart. Not everyone is going to like my style of poetry and thats the beauty of personal taste. It would be a boring old world if we all wrote exactly the same.
Thank you as always my sweet sweet friend. always appreciate your support.

Time just keep marching on my friend and getting old sucks. Not knowing what each day will bring from one day to the next all we can do is take it in our stride.

Comment from Pantygynt
This is one of the best poems of yours that I have had the pleasure of reviewing. It is a wonderful tribute to a wife (especially one who doesn't even like your poetry) some of us have only swallowed bitter pills in this respect. You are one of the lucky ones when it comes to medication of this nature. Very well done here, and the way you have expressed the content is worth a six. Amazingly for a Friday afternoon I still have one.

Comment from Loredana
Well, you have simply expressed the love you have for your other half and it just mirrored mine for my hubby. 24 years together and it's more fun than before. We are aging together and we complete each other. Your poem doesn't need rhyme, though I'm a rhyme person. Really love it.
