Comment from Richard J
Goodness-ME, Susan!
This may well be your best love/romance/softly sensual poem to date, and it is absolutely perfect for the contest ... a winner, surely.
Some of the highly appealing aspects to your poetry are that it is so well thought out, written, presented, and enjoyed, that Six Stars is most always deserved.
The one to whom you've penned this perfect "Lettre d' Amour" must be one helluva muse.
Thank you ever-so warmly for the honorable mention, Susan, and for using one of my forms to compose such sheer bliss ... "A Big New Year HUG! ~ Richard ; )

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written rhyming poem in the form of a love letter to a lover. The letter is carefully written with special ink and letters, a little perfume will also do, and the lover will receive the letter with glee.

Hello Susan,
I'm sorry to be out of sixes as this poem has the wow factor in it. I'm in love with this poetry form and will take notes to try it sometime. Where did you find it? I think this is a terrific entry for the rhyming poem contest. I predict this poem will be a top contender. Best wishes to you!

His work is amazing.
Comment from nancy_e_davis
This is absolutely superb Susan. What a beautiful Love poem. The interior rhyme accentuates the end rhyme in nearly every line. The meter is flawless. If this one doesn't win they didn't read it. Outstanding Nancy:)

Aw Nancy! You are too kind to me. Thank you for such a beautiful and encouraging review! Thank you so much! Happy New year!
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very lovely, creatively-written poem. The meter and rhyme--
including the internal rhyme--are appealing, giving the poem
a songlike quality. Last--certainly not least--it is SO romantic.

Comment from Alison Hendrix
Your work is so pure and so rich and so descriptive! It's truly a pleasure to read and to reread! My favorite is this line:"for seldom seems life mimics dreams" I love this, the entire poem pulls my heart to when my love was young and mysterious and intoxicating and all consuming. Thank you, thank you for sharing!! And...do you have a book of poems for sale?!
