Well your husband is a lucky man to have you feel this way about him still - and during, I imagine - your 41 years together. You expressed you feelings well and this is a joy to read

I think I just read the best "x-ray" line ever!
You integrated that word so well!
"X-ray of my soul would find, your inprint stamped inside"
Oops! There's a typo: IMprint, not imprint.
Lovely and passionate abcderian poem. Mostly smooth integration of the acrostic lines. Good job! And good luck at the contest!

Definitely not an easy task, but you made it look easy. I love the lines like these:
"Jealousy I've never had, Passionately you kiss my lips, Vulnerable I never feel". At first it brought to mind a Yoda-ish quality, but such a clever way to go through the alphabet by expounding upon the first word. Good job in construction - not to mention the wonderful tribute to your husband!

Nicely written poem. My one suggestion is to use your spelling correction on your computer. I will point out a few misspelled words.

exctasy - ecstasy
fullfill - fulfill
me with you(r) little g
Also feel I should mention the misspelling in your profile of (I have been written (writing) all my life. I think you will look more professional if you correct and take heed to sparing spelling errors. This is said to help, not discourage. I hope you take it as such.

Hi Drew, thank you for reading, reviewing and for picking up these mistakes. I really appreciate this feedback and have corrected these now. I had corrected the you/your a while ago but sometimes when I think I have corrected something somehow it reverts back so hopefully these will stay corrected. Again I thank you as I really don't want to detract my work with 'spags'.
Also with my profile I had 'I have written' with no been, but I like your suggestion of I have 'been writing' so will change that too. so,etimes one does not see 'the wood for the trees' and I am alway grateful for constructive feedback so a big Cheers to you for your help Christine

When you edit, you have to be sure you save, or it will get lost. It always happens to me, too. LOL
