Wonderfully written, Anna. A beautiful love poem, to and fro. One main line hit me as an all-encompassing human truth: "you love me as I am".
Isn't that all we can hope for in this crazy, topsy turvy world?
Thank you for sharing this with me. Neil

This flip poem, To the Moon and Back, presented with two mirrored octaves, reminds the readers that some love is found, fostered, and lasts forever. .

Did you mean to repeat the same verse twice here? Not sure? It sounds like you have found a loving relationship full of hope and truth here, a warm loving post, love Dolly x

Hi Anna!
Your poem is lovely and it is a skilled write that can be read forward and back again.

Since this is a rhymed poem, I am not sure how it will fare in a free verse contest. Good luck!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to read and to review.

    I was doubting the definition of free verse too, if it means "no rhyme " or "not following rules but rhyme ok" lol. Thanks for pointing that out. I really appreciate it.

I truly love the sentiments expressed in this poem. It is not exactly free verse, but it is beautifully and cleverly written and I liked the way it could be read in both directions. It is most of all, a love poem and the love is so sweetly expressed, no one will mind at all that there is beautiful rhymes throughout. MM

very cleverly written! I know this may be more difficult than it seems! good use of rhyming and alliteration. Indeed, actions speak louder than words. It would be nice if we could all have a love like that :)

I really loved your poem - it's so heartfelt! I felt the love in every line. The way you repeated "I am in love with you" worked so well. I liked how you talked about being loved just as you are - that part really stood out to me.
Keep writing - this one was lovely!
