This is a beautiful poem about love and a great entry for the love poem contest. Love of a wonderful person is one of life's greatest joys. Only thing I'd maybe suggest is splitting the poem up into stanzas mostly just for aesthetics and to make it a little easier to read. Great job and good luck in the contest. :)

Hi MidnightReicheru Thanks for you lovely review and suggestion and yes I can see it is a bit long but I deliberately did it like this to keep the Alphabet letters flowing, but I really do appreciate your comments and thanks so much for reading and your support. Nice to meet you Cheers

Hey! I apologize, I didn't realize for some reason that it was in ABC format until I reread it. Sorry about that, long night. :)

This is a wonderful poem. I like the way it flows like a river going downhill, it is very smooth. I like the picture and the way it sounds when read aloud. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Out of 6's but needs way more. This is so wonderful! I am so happy you have this man for such a great many years. I'm hoping for re incarnation so that I get many years with my man next time. I had a man I felt about just as your words here describe and sadly we only had 3 years and his inner demons took him away. I love when I hear that someone else has found the true bliss of a wonderful love like I had. Thank you so much for sharing some of your heart with us.

Your love is understandably the greatest as it is palpable throughout the alphabet poem. It is amazing that you have expressed your feelings so well in simple and smooth flowing 26 lines.It could serve as an inspiring model of love for others

A wonderfully written ode to your dear husband, Chrissy. May you both share 41 more years of wedded bliss.

As I read this, I began to wonder how you were going to deal with some of those more...difficult and troublesome letters to find rhymes for, like "W", "X", "Y", and "Z".

But you handled that quite brilliantly.

This was most impressive, from the impeccable rhyming and near, or slant, rhymes, to the bright and cheerful presentation as well.

Great job with this. I'm sure hubby will be pleased.

You didn't miss a letter, most of these a b c poems consist of five lines but you went above an beyond that. It is obvious you spent some time on this one.

Hi DonandVicki, Thanks for reading and reviewing my poem I enjoyed this challenge and thought an Alphabet style would be interesting to try. Appreciate your comments Cheers

Comment from Mark Valentine

You put some work into this one - not only spanning the alphabet, but adding rhyme and keeping meter. It's a lovely love poem made even sweeter knowing that it is dedicated to your husband of 41 years - this is a true love poem. Good luck in the contest.
