It's wonderful that you feel so positive about your significant other. It's interesting that so many couples just stay together out of habit. My first marriage lasted 32 years. It lasted that long I believe because of our two sons. After 10 years, I am now remarried and thus far we've been together over eight years. I feel as you do about my wife and feel it will just get better. Thank you for the uplifting poem. Best wishes.

    Thank you victor for your encouraging review. I always appreciate hearing from you. Interesting, my first marriage lasted 32 years as well. I'm not sure why I stayed together but maybe it was the children and after they left home, there wasn't any reason to stay.
    I'm happy to hear that you and your wife are happy and I pray that it will just keep getting better for you as well. It makes life worth living.

    Blessings

Your gorgeous poem brings me to a visit in a land I've never seen. Truly, this is a love poem of nature and of God's blessings, in addition to the one it's dedicated to. Good luck in the contest.

The objective correlative of your work reminisces a reaffirm of the protagonist's love for his beloved wife duly embroidered with an everyday scenery of the characteristic features of their land.

The work highlights the falcon on a breakfast foray; galloping stallions beyond the grand array of pastures; the Moors and peaks; the dynamics of the seasons that dovetail their daily affairs and how it has made their love to grow a hundredfold.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with humanity's affinity towards nature.

Excellent work. Bravo.

What a great description of a wonderful moment with the one you love without even mentioning your partner until the very end.

One observation:

2nd stanza, 1st sentence: I think "gallops" should be "gallop"

Very soothing, descriptive read, thank you.

I love this stanza it brings me serenity and an surreal unwinding from the sadness of the day:"
Now here we are at eventide --
tranquility engulfs the night.
In these serene and quiet times --
the love we share is my delight." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Nicely written poem with a great artwork to match.

A falcon flies at break of dawn.
He soars to greet[s] the morning sun.[take the 's' off of the word greet.

This is a lovely poem, Janet. The meter and rhyme is well done and I think the message is delightful and interesting. Your trip to England sounds lovely. Shouldn't this be in the non-fiction category? Your Poem is a good one for the Love Poem Poetry Contest. Well done and good luck. Nancy:)
