Indeed. This is the truest expression of love. To weather the storms of life together, to bask in the glow when the sun is favoring us--and to know in our hearts that in all the world, we'd choose this partner to share every part of life's journey. Excellent. I am so pleased you have joy in your union!

Your poem is well done, but I think you are considering "fires" and "forged" as two syllables, when they are only one. When I am not sure of how many syllables a word is, I go to Google.

That was a beautiful love poem. I am not the best person as far as advice on a syllable count - but there is a website
www.howmanysyllables.com
where you can look up individual words for syllables.
Wonderful imagery, visuals and presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I'm sure you already know I'm a sucker for romance. But that being said, I am only a sucker for unconditional love, the everlasting love. Not the lust so many people in today's world fall for. I enjoyed reading your poem and wish you luck with the contest.

This is an excellent poem for this contest, good luck. As far as syllables go, I would say it's twenty by a score of two to one. The poem is a wonderful description of the process a marriage goes through, you need to keep adding the years. Great work.

I hand counted.
The words your country is probably getting confused on is fires and forged. Both are one syllables.
Anyways, a very nice poem. Good entry for the contest.

You provide some great imagery here. I love the way I see what you have written for the reader in my mind's eye. This is a very romantic piece and it is well constructed. Nicely done. I really like the end coming out with the diamond, something strong and unbreakable. it lends to a whole level of passion in the work.

-Nice image and presentation, di.
-Thanks for the notes.
-The syllable count is good.
-You wrote a good poem about your 26 years together.
-I agree with your note about true love; it is so much more than how it is often portrayed in books and movies.
-I like your analogy in the last two lines;
it says a lot in between the lines.
-A good entry; good luck.
