Sweet honest emotions...
Nothing more essential than to continue your "conversation" with your beloved wife.
Quietly contemplative and moving poem.
Sorry you got three starred...
Here's a six to offset that!

solid rhymes, nice constancy of image, this poems creates a cloudy, sunlit lovescape where romantics dance through the sky to the sunset horizon.
in my opinion, too many cliches. take out: climb the mountain high, ride the wind, as far as the eye can see. those have been used to death, to DEATH. make something new instead.
overall, nice work

Hi Willie,
This is a lovely poem, I'm quite sure you know that already though.
I do have one suggestion.
Your line, "See as far as the eye can see." makes the tongue stumble a bit as it catches you off rhythm. You can fix this by simply eliminating the first "as" from the line.
Again, a simply beautiful poem.
Susan :)

The author's words are heartfelt, clear, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the place the author describes in these words. It made
think of peace and comfort. The poem flows and connects well. The
artwork is awesome and compliments these words.

What a truly delightful, and creative entry into this contest, Willie. I found it touching and sweet, like most of the other ones I've read to your wife. You two must have had such a beautiful relationship. Thank you for sharing this tender love poem with us and I wish you much luck in the contest. MM

I also love rhyming poetry. As you said, if it doesn't rhyme it's a story.
Your poem is beautiful and evokes real feel-good emotions. Thank you. And also thank you for serving our country!

This is a lovely poem. You can be really proud of yourself. This is a very good piece of writing, and many of us can find a piece of our lives in it.

Simplicity is sometime best.
