Comment from Gloria ....
An absolutely stunning free verse, Mav, right from the I do to the poem's sake.
Each word carefully selected ushers forth the aching loneliness of the poet in love with the earth, the moon and the stars.
Fantastic and I wish you all the best in the contest with this gem. :)

Wonderful praise to hear coming from you, Ange. For some reason I don't fare well in free verse contests. But as long as I fare well in your eyes, I'm good to go. Thanks so much.

Don't get me started lol I am a "Mikey Fan''... I could probably amaze these birds this morning singing your praises or completely smother you with friendly words of adoratin or shock you into complete silence ;-p ( it's a risk I take) deserve? tsk tsk Mikey..don't you know your beautiful souls shines though your poetry.. :-)

Look you lucky fool, any woman is lucky to have the devotion your words show. I loved this beautiful love poem and I am so glad you are writing away. I am finally back to writing after months of ridiculous but successful hours of teaching and loving my students. It felt good to see your face and hear your warming words. Never stop being the romantic you are. I still have much to learn and you gave me such a start when you helped me. Let's have a great summer.

Hi, Judy!
So great to hear from you and see you're back. I am around, just buried in real world junk and way behind as you can see. But I'm still here sneaking around and reading your great work like a little ghost. You are sooooooo kind. Thanks for the lovely words. I'm enjoying the smile. :)) mike

I think this is a good entry for the Free Verse writing prompt.
Your verse of love is colorful and nicely done.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from Donka Kristeva
The poem sounds abstract but conveys a longing of the heart. Somewhat mystical, perhaps it is purposefully so. Love that is greater than the physical realm and is lifted above,

Exceptionally well written is this love poem that is filled with lots of imagery and lots of emotions. Excellent presentation for the passionately written poem. This poem should do very well in the free verse poetry contest. Good Luck...

You had me with your title. I tried to resist, but you broke me with, "I do admit delirium". Then you sealed the deal with, "(I dream your laureate extraordinaire)". Should that be, "you're"? Yes, my humble poet, if you can get me the title of poet laureate, I'm in!!! Long distance relationships don't work so well. Plus I have a husband, three kids, four grandkids, two dogs, and one dog staying with us for a month. I come with a lot of baggage.
So, you have an outstanding poem for the Free Verse Poetry Contest. I'd declare you the winner, except nobody listens to me around here. Sorry! This should have been in a love poem contest. You're going to be having women throwing themselves at you over this one.
And, no, you have not convinced me to write free verse. Nuh uh.
Best wishes in the contest.
