Smiles to you fionageorge
Such a nice 5-7-5 love poem writing prompt entry.
So touching --

It's been fifty years
Since we first said 'I love you'
Today we still do

One thing did you see this requirement

((-no author's notes ))

Hi Gert. Yes, I did see that. But the contest is over (I came second). I had added this poem to my April Book of Poems Contest. As that requires where the inspiration for each poem comes from, I added the author notes AFTER the contest was finished. So... I think I met the brief. Again, thank you for your kind and generous review, Gert. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Hi Fietje, I am so pleased you liked this. A lot of my writing is how i wish it to be... but this one is real. I hope you will be able to celebrate our 50 years next year, when we come to Holland to celebrate it. Thanks again, Fietje, and miles and miles of loving smiles.... Marijke :o) xxxxx

Sweet five seven five delivers a clear and encouraging message. I don't see anything that needs to be changed. Excellent use of artwork. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Excellent 'love poem' in the 5-7-5 syllable count. You have managed to convey deep feelings and tell us a great deal about your partner in just 17 short syllables. Well done! And, congratulations for 50 years of such happiness! Sandy
