Very nice piece that captures the essence of a deep, yet tender bond between two souls meant for each other. Rare and beautiful. Great entry for the contest.

Wow--your tribute is powerful and I hope its subject is exceedingly proud! I admired your rhymes in this sonnet and the matching, majestic mountain scene. Best wishes in the contest and enjoy the remains of Valentine's night- Joan

Very nice tribute to a very special someone.
Your poem was well written with well thought out thoughts and ended. In a double tribute.
Thanks for sharing.

How lovely to express such honest feeling and admiration for someone so special to you.
The imagery suggests he is your rock, your strength, your everything.
I especially like the power of the last two lines to convey such strong feelings.
Blessings
Shirley

Your sonnet is excellent in all respects. Your have used strong descriptive details to reveal his admirable character. Rhyming and metrical patterns are sustained throughout.

Nice example of a sonnet. I must admit I have not written poems with this rhyme scheme in the past, although I do enjoy reading them. I enjoyed yours as well, and found it refreshing that it was written from a woman's perspective about a man. Well done.

Such a wonderful offering and so very unique: love that, instead of a declaration and such, you painted a heart-warming image with only those 15 syllables!! ;) Beautiful! Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;) Yvette

This is a lovely Valentine's Day sonnet for your husband! I am sure he loved it!
But did you enter it in the wrong contest? Because I think this Valentine poem contest was for 20 syllables. Maybe you can switch it?
