And now, six more stars AND tears. What a beautiful piece of work and the picture is a perfect topper. You are on your game! BIG TIME!

The song is the one my oldest chose to dance with me to at his wedding,
so of course, I am sobbing. SOBBING, do you hear me??????

Great job, Sally. REALLY.
Wendy

This is a deeply metaphoric poem that shows you picked this person as your life partner. As it should be, he is your home and strength. I say 'he' because you say handsome.
Keep writing
Happy Holidays

    Thank you so much for the excellent review and comments, Joan. Yes, this is is dedicated to my husband, Jackson. We've been happily married 44 years! I put a little note in the author's note section but it was near the video and maybe you missed it. :)

This is is a beautiful, heart-felt nonet, Sally. I enjoyed reading it. Great job with the syllable count per line, the super image, and your message of love and understanding that can only come from two that are truly in love for the long run. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love, Jan

    Thank you so much, dear Z. I appreciate your kind review of my anniversary Nonet and the shower of stars. We actually went to the beach where he proposed and had dinner.

    That sounds wonderful! We went to Waffle House for our 47th in July. What can I say. I'm an incurable romantic and I love grits and waffles. :)

Hey, look what we got here! SIXES again. This was indeed a precious poem about an obviously loving, caring man. Love the great pic too and no spags. Still trying to get my muse going. I forget if you are on Facebook let me know. I just put up a bunch (30) of new videos about our trams in Sydney.

    Hey there. I am delighted to see you and gladly receive your generous six star rating. It is so appreciated, dear Geoff. No, I am not on Facebook but probably as soon as 'What The Blind Girl Saw' is published in 2020, I will be. I just finished the Finale and will post it the first Sunday in January followed by the Epilogue. In the meantime, I have one more love letter chapter to post. (By the way, you missed 'Love Letter on a Clipboard #6' last Sunday.) The last chapter is 'To My Secret Admirer #6' which I'll post Christmas Eve Eve. Thank you again for the lovely review and do remember that aim praying for Yu our both and for the fires to abate.
    Sending you my best today as always and blessings for Christmas,
    Sally xoxo :) :)
