Great suggestive photo. As I was reading, I was expecting a departure by death, so I am pleased it sounds like a happy ending.
Should that last line:The very spot where we met all those years ago, you and I for all time. . .Read "you and me"? Just curious. Thank you so much for sharing and it will bring back memories to many people of "that special" place. Blessings, Keri

Lovely photo to complement your poem and your poem was a pleasant surprise too. You don't often see letter and diary poetry. To be honest I don't exactly know the requirements. But yours sounded beautiful.

Nice picture to compliment your work. I think this
is well-written. I like that you included her
name and that the shadow appeared and you followed it.
Memories have a way of visiting us in familiar places.
Well-done poem. I enjoyed it.

As the shadow begins to slow down, it dawns on me where I am,
Looking around my surroundings and the blue sky above, could it possibly be?
The very spot where we met all those years ago, you and I for all time.
Do you remember the days spent on Asbury Beach, Always, my one true love!

Imagery is good.
A bit of rambling.
Form needs more structure.

I am impressed by the way Maria's essence leads you to that intensely meaningful place and by the way she still mesmerizes you. You have made very effective use of the "Do you remember . . . " question(s).

This is a beautifully written poetic story. I've spent a lot of time in Jersey and I think this is the way that the Jersey Shore should be portrayed... instead of the way it usually is nowadays!

Thanks for sharing this poem! :)

I am not certain why but beaches make the most perfect backdrops of love scenes. I love how you mixed all the elements of past and present, love and desire and remembrance so very well. Awesome job!!!!

this is very beautifully written Dk. I love the notion of the shadow you follow. I feel the pain of the lost love and the confusion of how you arrived to the special spot on the beach. hugs. debs

Love this, and have spent time on the Jersey Shore. This brought back a flood of memories of those wanton fun filled days. But beyond that, this poem is divine. Love endures and one true love is not a myth.
