    Thanks, Nancy for the generous review and virtual six. Why do I always seem to post my best pieces late in the week?

Good luck in the Love poem poetry contest. This seems to be a tribute to someone. At our wedding...an angel flew from heaven. Wonderful words of love and admiration. My husband is my angel after all these years. God has made us one. I am so blessed. I certainly enjoyed reading this love poem.

    Joyce, thanks for the kind words - I've been married 41 years - can you beat that?

Well done. The flow was good, the rhyme seemed unforced,and I like the point of view you took - having a conversation with God about one of his angels - now yours I take it

Oh goody, a new post in my inbox from kiwisteveh! Super goody, it's a rondeau redouble. I love this poetry form. Such a lovely love theme. No doubt for your wife? Lovely iambic pentameter. Terrific repeating lines that work in the second time flawlessly. Great rhymes. Best wishes in this contest!
