Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love this. I want to ask, and of course, I will give you recognition as the author, can I use this poem when this book goes to publishing, which will be like in a year or more? What I'm thinking is toward the beginning where a short description of the story is.

Oh, I am so happy you like it. I was a little nervous. You may use the poem any time you like. I love Emma and Seth (*=*)

Thank you for all your kind and encouraging reviews. Be well.

I like your free verse poem- nice picture presentation - swinging on the porch together - accurately depicting an old fashion romance- not just a single pointed fling focused on lust - I love memories of those romances- kiss goodnight at the door - good job - AP

That is so cool. Using the inspiration of a novel and the main characters. I liked the timidness of the attraction and the patience exhibited. Some things are worth waiting for. Gretchen

I follow Barbara's book and I really like Seth and Emma. I love Jameson and Iris too. I don't usually read prose but I follow a few of the good ones. It has to have good imagery.

Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

Wow! I know Barbara will love this! You got the depth of the relationship between Emma and Seth. Both love each other but both are hesitant and don't want to suffer the hurt they had before nor cause any hurt. Well done!!

I think it should be 'Old Fashioned' really but otherwise this is rich with longing and resonates with love and passion. Another excellent poem. Well done.
