Comment from Rosemary Everson1

Excellent

very romantic poem about when you first met. Sometimes it is not love at first sight. A person has to get to know the love of their life first, before we get too involved.

Very well done one this, great rhyming, and flows smoothly. This is the way it sometimes happens, glad you were willing to take the chance on that first date.

Thanks for reading my poem. We've been married for 42 years, so it worked out well. Thanks again. :)

Myra? Is that you? Writing about me? Holy Moley it like looking in a looking glass. Still, my missus doesn't write poetry so that means... your husband is my twin. Have a greater day.

I liked this one a lot. Cheeky quirky, doubt then finding out. It looks like you nearly went into a tailspin deciding, but the math proved it all. I think maybe you nailed it.

Well written poem for the contest, and it should do well. It flows well, and has a good rhyme and metre, and tells your story just as it is. Good presentation too. Best wishes.

Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully and creatively written, very descriptive, and appealing. I like the way it flows from negative, because of his arrogance, to positive because you learned what he was REALLY like.

These delightful stanzas have such a ring of sincerity and truth as the two would-be partners reflect and ponder the possibility of getting closer and ultimately succeeding

Thanks for reading. I actually didn't like my husband when we first met...he was arrogant. But we've been together for many years, so something went right. Thanks again for this great review. :)

This is wonderful!
I love how you saw through the façade to discover the real person underneath.
