A lovely yet heartbreaking love poem, especially when the author notes are read. I'm reading your poem and realizing she will always be with you. That kind of love is not common, so precious and irreplaceable. Your poem is written very well. Best of luck in the contest.

It's an amazing life when lived with a love so pure and true.

Beautiful fluidity and rhyme to your words of love.

I enjoyed your post both because it is a well done work; but also because it touches the heart

It is always heart warming to see an expression of true and long lasting devotion to a loved one who has departed life, but is still loved just as much as ever, perhaps even more. Good job.

Do that thing. Bang! Bang! Bang! I found this old style poetic verse pleasing to me in its given structuring, appealing as back then to my interests. A very creative and touching read in my given opinion.

I really enjoyed this poem, it is written from the heart and very relatable to anyone who has experienced true love. It is simple, raw and direct. Sometimes people can fall into the trap of trying too hard to use fancy romantic words, but it's not always necessary, just wearing your heart on your sleeve can be just as effective, and feels more real. Your words were genuine and touching, well done.

Great to read a structured poem with a sincere message.
Your colour scheme is delicate and the soft focus photo complements this.

Except for the first stanza the poem is written in alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter lines with abab rhyming. Is there a reason for this difference? Would you consider inserting 'really' in the first line and 'always' in the third so the first stanza conforms to the metre of the others?

The poem delivers its sincere message well. I am sure the lady in question would be very happy to hear this.

How sweet and beautiful. She is lucky to have you. I don't think this required a certain syllable count. I think the line "when awake or when I sleep" should read "when awake or when asleep". Also there are two periods after the very last line.

Hello Willie,
You've written an excellent rhymed poem for the love contest
You always know when the 'right' one comes along,
somehow you just know, no words needed.
Great picture to match your words.
Well done.
Best wishes to you.
Robert
