This is just lovely and pulls at my heartstrings. Very well written with the flow of thought, meanings and descriptions well crafted. I really enjoyed reading it, Joan.

Roy,
Thanks for the concise and thorough review. I appreciate the comments and the stars. I wrote it a long time ago, when I wrote long poems. I try to avoid them now.

Hi my friend. This is one of your best posts ever in my opinion. I would only suggesrt one thing if I may:
You have a tendency to say "Through months we did easily glide" "we did" ??
Instead you could shift the words slightly and for instance here say: Through months we COULD easily glide"
See the difference? Hope so. :) Good job Bob

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Courtly Love is a lovely poem of unrequited love. It is a very hard thing to send a loved one off to war and they not return. Some women never look at another man in their lifetime--die still married heart and soul to their first love. Sad.

This poem takes you on a journey, that does not end well, but is interesting to read about. The title and the style in which the poem is written reminds me a little bit about the renaissance. Very well done.

Thanks for the review. it was meant to have that feel. I wrote the poem to describe a picture that was a girl in renaissance clothes walking thru a castle garden with a gazebo bending to pick up a white rose.

This is a beautiful poem of love and love lost. I love the focus on the rose and the flower bud. It really gives a great visual cue for me as the reader to hone in on the story line. I loved this poem. -January L.

Comment from Bill Pinder
I like this well written poem with smooth Rhyme and rhythm that tells the story of a lady in waiting that never gets to see her lover return from war. You have expressed this idea very well with your words. Bill

This poem is amazing! I truly got a little emotional when reading through this. The way you wrote this is very good, each word glides easily to the next. I really loved reading this, it tells a beautiful story :)

Comment from Dumbledor
Nice, pleasant, love poem. Pleasant to read with a lovely sentimental feel to it. Resembling and old fairytale, of battle and love found then lost. The symbolism of the pink rose, lying on the ground, and the inner knowing that she would never see her prince again. Nice, pleasant verse

Hello!
I found your rendering tender and lovely. It reminds me of Amy Lowell's "Patterns.'
I appreciate your experimentation with language used centuries ago. This would be a wonderful poem to share with young people today and ask them to write it using today's language...
Best Wishes,
diane

Hi,
Thank you for the review, Diane. I never would of thought of it as a teaching aid. I used the language because
the picture made my think of that time.
