This acrostic poem has a hopeful, optimistic tone. I appreciate your author notes very much. How amazing to get where you wanted to be. Nice job with the subject matter as well.

Sandra does help many of us. She has a way of aiding things not "quite right" especially font size and such. Congrats on your rekindled love. I noticed you have been missing or I overlooked your submissions.

This is the kind of acrostic that speaks to success. A wonderfully sweet creation with all the right words for those personal emotions. I like your approach to directing the flow and landing the message. Congratulations. Good work.

This is so sweet. It is a bit old-fashioned, as if taken from an old diary.
I would personally have it printed in some fancy font - this is something you can proudly hang on a wall :)

Jessi,
I'm so glad for you. It only took twenty-five years! Not bad. And this poem, using the convention of his and your names down the left side, feels easy and natural, not forced. Congratulations! You've earned a six for this one! Hooray!
Richard

Jessi, I want so badly to give you a six for this In Celebration in your union of friendship that had a twenty five year gap! But alas, I have none to share. When a couple has the connection with a twin soul ... mountains and valleys, time and distance can never keep these types of souls apart! Good success in your abounding union.

Ciao !

Glad you and Steve have reconnected and have discovered to be in love.

25 years is a long time and much must have happened in between.

Maybe back then you were both just too afraid to speak up / to jeopardise your solid friendship.

We are all more grounded by 40/45 and more secure of our feelings.

Best of luck!

PS: I found it hard to read your names downwards

A couple of suggestions:

make Steve and Jessi the title and old/ new loves the subtitle.

Or put the first letters in your poem in another colour like red for passion/ love.
