Hi Crystie,
This is a nicely written poem that flow well with it simple rhymes which tells about lovers separated. It says that love doesn't have to be dramatic to be deep and real.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Have a great rest of the week.
Joan

Crystie: Congrats on your placement in this contest...I wish I had known
about your entry earlier so I could have reviewed/or voted. I enjoyed my read. However, the formal poetry and/or terms for stressed/unstressed syllables makes me uncomfortable...I know what I like in verbiage, plus your notes are helpful as well.

Allits of B's, blossom's/bliss; G's, gentle/gentian; W's, where/we'd, way/we.

Of course, your end rhymes are depicted via your rhyme scheme.

This is a heartfelt enchanting Valentine with sentiments sent across miles...loving from a distance has its on challenges and poignantly
scribed. Touching write. teafor2

Expecting, roses and cupids but you surprised me with something out of the blue. I love how you used the flower in the field to describe your feelings of deep emotional love. Very nicely done. Good luck with the contest.

There is just something about that royal blue that adds intensity to your words. I like it so much better than red! Beautifully written

where gentians sway--the way we used to dance.

...a line I especially like. Thanks for sharing! Julie

Love this beautiful parallel representing different stages of love. "Our love may never flare dramatic red,
but like the gentian, it's complete and true.
I may recall a hillock where we'd sit,
where gentians sway--the way we used to dance.
I'll sign this valentine and make dreams fit
inside the envelope for our romance." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Love from afar in your beautiful valentine poem. We tend to think red hearts and roses... but your blue blossoms make a bigger impact on the reader. Very well written.

Smiles. Carol

I love your thought in this. There is something to be said for the blue. Like the gentian, it represents a love complete and true. Red may represent something fiery and passionate, but it can also be fleeting. Beautiful rhyme and wording. I felt you might do more with the presentation, something other than the words on white. Beautiful picture of the flower. Good luck in the contest. judi

I just love your beautiful Valentine poem.
I can see that you copy and pasted it into Fan Story...
To make it cleaner is an easy fix...if you want to do it.
Just delete it and then type your poem directly in....
When I first joined Fan Story last year I did the same thing until I figured it out... now I know what to do and so I am sharing it with you.
By the way I read what you wrote on your review to Debi for her beautiful Birthday wish to me and I want to thank you...
