A very romantic, heart warming nonet that cannot help but make one smile when reading it. The visuals conjured in the minds eye are a delight. I think this one will resonate with all those who pulled anchor and set a similar courseš???

This is a lovely tribute to a love that acts like a beacon that welcomes home the fishing boats at night. No matter what storms life can bring, a love like that can help a couple find refuge and survive through the years. Thanks for sharing these beautiful and inspiring sentiments. Love the artwork as well.

This is such a precious posting...thank you for sharing your lovely 44th wedding anniversary that occurred this week. This is a positive example of the right two people coming together to spend the years of their lives as a successful team. The photograph is striking and so perfect for your poem. xoxo

A very well-written Nonet poem about setting the sails with the perfect partner for life becomes our sunrise with their smile, their open arms our shore and their heart our home where we feel welcomed.

Happy Anniversary. I'm happy for you. The imagery in this poem draws the reader in to understand how it all began. This is lovely imagery. It shows how with any plan, our lives can turn around. This becomes a reality with your metaphors. Well written.

What a delightful tribute to your beloved Jackson and your forty-four years of happy marriage to him! The metaphors you chose work well, and the last five lines are a perfect expression of the love you feel for the blessed soulmate sharing your life. Such a beautiful relationship is a joy to see.

The breaking wave backlit by sunset is gorgeous, and its heart shaped curl is most apt. I know Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately" is your song with Jackson, so including it here certainly is fitting.

Superb, and I wish you at least as many more such loving years together.

    Thank you very much for the kind review and well wishes, Mike. I appreciate the shower of stars, too. You originally helped me post this song to another article. Thank you for that. Jackson is now a pro with these music videos. I think they enhance everything.
    Sending you my best today as always,

    You are most welcome, Sal. You well earned the stars for this loving post. Yes, it was this same song, which is why I remembered. -- Mike

What a beautiful, sentimental and loving poem for your fella!
He is the lucky one I'd hear him say! A "one of a kind" he'd say! And the rest I'll leave for your pillow talk! :)

    I'm glad to share this with everyone to inspire. I'm surrounded here at FanStory with many who have a deep capacity for love, like you, and appreciation for it. (My emergency notes say, see Diana Crawford's love poems for inspiration, if needed.) Kinda like emergency chocolate. ;)

    I'm so glad you enjoyed this and thank you once again for the lovely review.
