Hello Yvonne.

I like the rhyme and meter of the poem. You completed the poem with a first and last statement according to the instructions. The story is quite well told and complete with the last line closing the action of the maid.

-You did a good job with
the form, and I like the artwork.
-Effective imagery, rhyme, and
repeating line.
-You tell a story in the poem.
-It is like a fantasy, mystery; maybe
you are on to something new.
-I like the opening when she
is seemingly demure, but she
accomplished her goal and
got his attention.
-The last verse puts the icing
on the story! Clever maid she was!!

    Thank you. I think those times were so romantic. It seems there's little romance in young people these days.

    You are very welcome and I agree those times were romantic. I don't know about today, but Hallmark keeps romance going:)

This first and last poem is a light hearted and uplifting piece. A simple story is told by the poem. The presentation visually enhances the piece. Well done.

How sweet this is - I would love to live in those times, except for my delicate health. Imagine a spring day with parasols twirling and flowers blooming. What sweet thoughts this poem brings to me. I adore your writing!

    Thank you. What a sweet thing to say. I'm so glad you liked this. Yes, I agree about those days. I was born 100 years to late, I'm afraid, for these days.

This style is very appealing, but it looks hard to me! You have done extremely well with it, conveying a delightful, romantic story through the use of well-chosen words.

What a delightful poem. It's been many years ago that I met my wife, and from the first time I saw her, I knew that I would marry her. We've been through thick and thin, but after forty nine years we're still together and enjoying each other. Love is a wonderful thing. Nothing sets the heart to beating like seeing someone you love. Congratulations on a great poem.

Have a blessed day.

Tom

Wonderful imagery and alliteration.

Your poem story is intriguing... maybe the maid and young man got together.

Good entry for the Club entry for the "First and Last ~ Potlatch Poetry challenge.
