Someone who truly loves us will stand by us in adversity, and keep us safe. If we meet such a person, we can only feel genuine gratitude. We are happy to see when such people give happiness.

MariVal,
This is a romantic love poem that uses repetition and metaphor well to show the depth of her love. I like how you incorporate the artwork in the poem and the that the font color matches the picture too.
Good luck in then contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

In your free verse you have succeeded in quietly painting feelings that are often left unsaid. And you followed the pattern and pace of everyday speech. I leaned a lot and enjoyed it.

Gypsy Blue Rose, I regret not have a six - so I am sending a virtual six!

Your free verse, is wonderfully artistic in graphic presentation and artistic in the use of great poetic devices to present to the reader a Love song.
My favorite line is "when tempest turbulence entangles tender hearts"

Good success in the contest, JLR

Gypsy,
This is an excellent poem. Loving arms are portrayed as security , of a soulmate, but also whomever or whatever is steadfast and secure in one's life.
It's a very beautiful poem.
Good luck,
Blessings,
Cindy

Somebody loves somebody - a lot. When someone can feel as secure as these words tend to imply, that means there is a level of trust and love that is not often reached.

If this is a true, personal account, consider yourself exceedingly fortunate. You have something that many people seek all their lives for.

Really nice verse. Even as an open verse it reads so easily.

-Good artwork and nice presentation, Gypsy.
-You did a good job with the poem and topic.
-Effective imagery and theme of the north star,
along with the repetition of the 't' sound
describing the tempest.
-I also like "dubious winds meander."
-Good concluding lines, as well.
-Good luck in the contest.

That was really lovely, Gypsy, and so romantic. The North Star was the perfect metaphor for this poem, it always led you to his arms. What a perfect place to be. Loved this free verse poem, and I loved the presentation. Well done and good luck! :) Sandra xx
