Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver a well penned piece exuding the essence of love from end to end. The use of couplets enhanced the overall impact of each stanza. The rhyme and meter were consistently solid and fluid throughout. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Ciao Mystery poet. I gave you your 7th vote.
When I see an old weathered couple walking hand in hand I feel a tug at my heart...I imagine how strong their love must have been to get over the trials of life together ..now as they grow weaker each finds strength in the other.
It's very sad when one dies and his or her partner is left behind.
Your pic is very sweet and I like your subtitle too.

I guess, mystery writer, that your evocative verses really spoke to me as we're been married 47 years and I can so relate to your words. We look out for each other - continually. It almost takes two of us to function fully nowadays but together we manage. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about another love that we can always depend on. Someone we can be comfortable with and speak about anything with them without feeling weirdness.

Comment from Nancy Old
So much said in few words. Only a history among two over time expresses how love is shown. Love isn't just a sex act but so much more. It's little acts of service and moments of comfort.

I appreciate your positive comments; however, could you please explain what needs to be fixed ... the rating you've awarded is below that of a poem that requires fixing, yet you have noted no error and no necessary corrections....please explain so that I can know how to improve. Thank you.

You have portrayed in a realistic way how an enduring love is more than a test of endurance. The simple, caring things, a gesture, a consideration, all add up to a love that lasts.

Hello mystery writer: the that is a beautiful poem. It captures the essence of the true love between between people I have spent most of their lives together. The meter and rhyme was excellent. The choice of words was impeccable. It is a great poem. -Robert-

This is a true another love poem. Two old souls living together in harmony. I think that this poem is structured well. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Good luck in the contest!

A perfect poem about the truth of true life long love. A reminder of what we should all really treasure in this world. A poem of great simple beauty that should be read by all who want to understand the true power of love.
