This is so very descriptive. You presented an entire story in your poem. That is a talent, my friend.
Good luck in the Rhyming Love Poem contest.
Okay gotta run. Gonna go over to the corner of Church and Main and wait for another girl to fall. Ha!

Jessica. I love the rhyme scheme and this particular story of love. What I loved most is the title and the way it was repeated. You had me at The Corner of Church and Main. Great poem. Cherish

I guess he was waiting for a bus? Or does he just like that intersection so much that he just goes there every night? You told a sweet story in rhyme about those chance meetings and sometimes those lead to falling in love.

I hate to be out of sixes when poems like yours steal my heart! I love this and the repeatef," on the corner of Church and Main. If this doesn't win, I'll protest on the corner of Church and Main! Exceptional, beautiful, sweet and endearing.
Sending you my best today as always, dear Jess, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A very romantic tale which started on that corner when she stumbled, faltered and then resumed years later on the same corner. The wintry snow brings to this love story an ethereal quality of an inevitable force bringing these two together again. Thanks for sharing this lovely verse and good luck, Jess! Debbie

What a lovely story of a chance meeting in the snow! I wonder what the impediments are that you hinted at? Were one or both partners already spoken for and unable to pursue this instant attraction, despite their mutual desire? I felt that the rhythm, rhyme and melody here sounded very much like song lyrics. Add a lonely acoustic guitar, some subdued lighting and a singer with a soulful voice and you'd have an instant hit. :)

Wow! Jessica this poem is beautifully written. I literally got chills reading this heartfelt love story poem, it's so romantic.
Your rhyme is on point, sounds like a first-place winner to me!
Good luck!

Awwww. Hand me a tissue, please! This is live every Christmas Hallmark Movie I've ever watched... sweet and melancholy but always with a happy ending! So many great poems in this contest! It's been a joy to read the various takes on "love" --
Your repeating refrain worked very well here, Jessica. You never disappoint, and this one touched my heart.

One of the reviewers has been te3qching me about meter, and so I am very conscious of it now, and thought I detected some off-meter syllables. Since I am still learning, I'll pass on that for now and congratulate you on a beautiful love poem and I am so glad you did not end it two stanzas earlier!

Thank you, Jim! I appreciate your feedback. The mixed meter was intentional, but I will revisit to check on syllable count. Thank you! Xo

This is a lovely rhyming poem that you have written about the corner of church in Maine, that young lady and that young man will never forget the day they met at the corner of church in Maine. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work with us. Patricia.
