You wrote a beautiful poem of long-lasting love without
Using the words listed. The metaphor of flowers in a
Garden works so well.
I wish you the best in the contest. Should be a winner.
And thanks for the gorgeous video and music.

Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with evolved/involved...rain/pain. Good alliteration with took/to...shared/sun...sun/sinking...bare/bury. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a beautiful message.

Thanks for reviewing. My sister and her husband have such a marriage. That is what inspired this poem.

until spring renews
our autumn prayer .. beautiful.

I love the garden imagery in this lovely, love poem. It's breathless and delicate - like a Monet or a gentle water colour painting.

All the best in the contest, Dallas.

Love,

This just wonderful. I felt good when reading it and that's not something that just happens.

From a beautiful piece of artwork you integrated the sweetest words that anyone should be happy to receive.

Quite nice. AT=/

DALLAS01: such a lovely poem, simple yet powerful and 'deep rooted feelings'. This music adds a sweetness and the picture and colors a sense of new beginnings. Lovely, lovely. livelylinda

So glad you liked it. I was thinking of my sisters' and her husband's marriage. How are you doiing this week?

reply by livelylinda on 12-Feb-2014

I seem to be on a weekly roller coaster cycle. I have three or four good days if I keep it slow and close. Then I have a weepy day and cry about everything. Then I have an angry day and spit nails all day. Then I have a couple days that Nitro two to three times a day is necessary because of chest pains. These are scary because they could be my last day. . .but, still standing! Linda

You keep on standing, girlfriend. In my daily prayers. Sounds like the stages of grief. Grieving yoru health condition.

This is my favorite poem in my reviewing today. I love gardening and you describe the relationship each gardener experiences, from grubbing our hands planting the seed or bulb to admiring the outcome.

good metaphor of a relationship as a blossoming flower
good assonance in crowd out
good use of occasional rhyme
good alliteration in sun is sinking
a most thoughtful look at a positive relationship over time
