The emotion and passion you expressed in this free verse is totally felt as you express your concerns and the fear along with his anxiety. Death robs us of the ones we love but memories keep us close

Ine, I know the feelings you have. They are at this moment in time raw and hurt a lot. But as time passes there comes a time when you can look at the many memories you made with Robert and smile at the precious memories. Please do not go away from us too soon. Patricia

You wrote a very good contest entry. My suggestion would be to stay in the same tense. Decide if you are writing in present or past tense and stay in it. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi Ine. Wonderful love poem. I love you described your love for Robert as a juwel in a box, I know how hard it is for you. Poor smokey, he is afraid you won't come back too. But if you come back every time he will get used of it. And we don't let you go, we love you!! Love Fia.

Hi Ine, a heartfelt poem that just bristled with emotion and love.
Wonderful, powerful words that pulled us along loves journey.
Should this have been...Then God.......rather than....Than God in the first stand, forth line?
Very enjoyable

Such a good love poem, Ine. I can imagine the sadness and the anxiety you feel and even Smokey grieves, too. I like that you describe your love like "a jewel in a box." I wondered if you really meant "fool moon" or "full moon?"

A precious poem indeed, to your beloved Robert, and your love story;
perfect for this contest entry too. A touching inspiration for long time
married couples and how love survives beyond days on earth time.
Thanks for sharing, best of luck in contest.
Blessings, Ronni

Your biographical, love poem is filled with emotion. I admired your "jewel" simile and including Smokey in the description. (I think "full moon" was meant in the final stanza.) Try to concentrate on your positive memories of "almost forty years" with Robert. More gentle hugs and best wishes in the contest- Joan
