This is an excellent piece in all respects--skillfully written, with vivid descriptions. The poem conveys a powerful message about how an appreciation for nature, spending time in lovely settings, enhances the love shared by those enjoying those scenes.

It's a beautiful poem. I l love the imagery and the beauty of the place you describe. Even more I like your appreciation of each aspect of the place, and the beautiful ending where the comfort and warmth and protection and depth of your love is remembered and celebrated. Well done. Lovely writing.

Janet,
This is a lovely way of remembering and celebrating another anniversary.
Your clever words speak of many aspects of nature, blending all together in all kinds of weather - a potent metaphor for the band and blessings you share with your partner.

You did a great job with the prompt as this is a strong contest entry.
I appreciate the author notes, really added a nice layer of texture to your writing.
The imagery you have created through the use of sensory details is well achieved. No matter the length of time a couple is married, I think traveling to a place that feels special is an unbelievable experience. Thanks for sharing.

This is a lovely poem in praise of beauty in a foreign land. It is also about allowing this beauty to enhance an already wonderful, loving relationship. Your images are so clear, and your words are powerful.

Your word choice is sublime. You paint a picture that enthralls me. I wanted so much in my younger days to travel to England, France Germany, etc. I did manage to get to the Far East, but that was supposed to be only the first leg, wound up being the only one. The biggest takeaway I get from your beautiful poem is, that in the arms of true love, no place, no weather, nothing can take away or diminish the pleasure you find in each other.

Hello, Janet!
I've had the pleasure of reading countless love poems over the years - on this site and elsewhere. But I must say, your offering is by far one of the finest.
Perhaps it is because my husband and I went to England for our 25th wedding anniversary and I, especially, was enamored and enthralled by the vistas, countryside, history, etc. Perhaps it is because the images you've presented and the smoothness of your offering resonate with me. Perhaps it is because I smiled as I read your exceptional work... Perhaps, as I look forward to our 43rd wedding anniversary on June 30th, I know in my heart, "Our love has grown a hundredfold."

Thank you for sharing!

    Wow! I don't think I have ever had such a beautiful, meaningful and stellar review diane. Thank you and thank you for the special sixth star.
    Congratulations on your upcoming 43rd wedding anniversary.
    Our marriage is the 2nd for both of us and we don't want to miss any opportunity to enjoy the world, our blessings and each other.
    Interesting, my first wedding was on June 30th and lasted 30 years. In three more years, we will have equaled that number. Guess I showing my age here. (smile)
    So pleased that your love has grown a hundredfold as well. You have definitely touched my heart today.

    Blessings

Janet,
This is a nicely done love poem both about love on nature and love of spouse. It uses nature and weather as metaphors for the easy times and hard times in a relationship. It shows the strength it takes for a relationship to last.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

This is a poem to dream by, so to speak, celebrating a long and lasting true love with a backdrop of Mother Nature and Her many and varied manifestations -a classic performance here
