I very much enjoyed this. It flows very well when it is read aloud. Also the reason that I enjoy it is that the image that you put up is for the calendar year of 1959. If you would look at January 25 it fell on a Sunday. That was the very day that my husband and I married. I have a 1959 collectors plate is in my bedroom on a stand. Patricia.

lol cute poem. I never had an actual parlor to be romantic in. It was usually a car or nothing. oh the good old days! I wouldn't trade them but I don't think I'd want a re-do either. Thanks for sharing.

Actually, my own parlor was usually occupied by my brother watching television.

Great job! I love the story in your poem which is so well written! This flows perfectly. I love the word choices. And your story captures a scene of clandestine romance. The imagery of speaking softly to avoid detection in a parlor, where curfew might be an issue if voices are raised, adds a sense of urgency and secrecy to the lovers encounter. You share a story of young love in this unique setting. I love that you highlight the joy of being together despite the need for discretion.
