You have penned a delightful, vividly descriptive, touching love poem that makes me smile. The lines flow gently from the first meeting to the walk down the aisle.

I like that you begin and end this love sonnet with the blossomed moon - ties it all together for me.

Beautiful poem of your love for your maiden fair.

The moon, and its cycles, has extraordinary meaning and influence for many of us and it seems that it 'blossomed' at just the right time for you. Sharing the energy and wisdom of the moon is a lovely way to bond with the universe and with each other.

This is such a lovely poem. What a beautiful love story that tells of two lovers from the beginning until they are going to marry. I love it. Thanks Jaybird for the delightful read!
It flows beautifully and rhymes don't feel forced.

A June wedding, and obviously a match for all time. I enjoyed this delightful recounting of your romance and marriage to the love of your life, Jay. I liked how you circled back to the beginning with your final couplet. That made this poem feel like a completed picture, one I most thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing it. MM

Hello Jaybird, another beautiful and eloquent poem. I don't know how you do it ... poem after poem after poem--amazing. Your poem reads and flows well and has good imagery within. I especially liked:

Love in the fragrant air of June-
'Twas captured by a blossomed moon.

(J, the above is so romantic, and so ooh-la-la)

Silky rhyming. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Great poem. You seem to capture every essence of the time the two of you met. I thought it was very romantic and was written well. I also loved the repeated lines. Good job!

Good for you. To have the courage to pursue the one you decided was the one. Some men let her go and regret their mistake for years to come. Some men mistake lust for love and live to regret it, ruining their life, the woman's life and the life of any children that result from the poor choice.

This sonnet-esque poem, How We Met, brings the readers to that moonlit summer night and follows them to betrothal. A nice recollection of love.
