Hello Janet,
Outstanding description and imagery in your poem
of a morning walk with your husband.
Simplicity captures the essence of beauty
with perfect smooth meter that fills each stanza.
I love the variations on the repeated line
and the touch of internal rhyme.
Beautiful poem.
Best wishes to you and your husband.
Robert

    Thank you Robert for your exceptional review and extra stars and good wishes.

    I'm glad you liked the variation of the last line in each stanza. I worried that it wouldn't work. I'm happy you liked it.

    Blessings

Ciao poet!,

I love to kick my day off by taking my early morning walk.

I'm not married but I used to take my dog with me until he passed away. In the beginning, it was lonely but now I enjoy it even on my own.

I live in the countryside and my town is surrounded by pine forests and chestnut trees.

I love the fresh air and the silence. and the sound of my footsteps.

Autumn is my all-time favourite season, love the sunset hues like in your pic.

Your poem was a delightful read!

I hope that all goes well for you. As you say, we never know what is in the future, but so often things work out well. I enjoyed your poem very much, with the shift in the refrain showing us clearly your mood and your worries. Take care and be blessed. kay

So truly romantic.

My favourite part,

"What's old is new when I'm with you.
Same smile that greets me every morn."

I say something similar to my husband
I will love you as long as your eyes are blue.

What a beautiful expression of love and a special bond between man and wife.

You are so right. Give the ones you love all the time and affection you can because there are no guarantees of a tomorrow. Believe me I learned that very well over the Holiday's. Your poem ripped at my broken heart. Nancy:)

    Thank you Tom for your thoughtful and encouraging review. It's been a bit busy these last few months and my husband will have a valve replacement next month so the busy times continue.

-Nice image and presentation, Janet.
-I am sorry to hear about your husband
and hope he is better soon.
-You wrote a very good poem about
the love you have for each other.
-The imagery of how you feel during
the course of this day is excellent:
"Leaves swirl, then crunch beneath our feet."
-You include all of the senses, like
"Bold scent of coffee."
-The repeating phrases are effective,
and the conclusion touches our hearts.
-Thoughts and prayers are with you.
-I hope this has helped by sharing your feelings.

    Thank you Pam for your thoughtful and encouraging review and the special stars. It did help to write down my feelings and I'm thankful for the loving support of FanStory friends like you. Next month he will have the valve replacement procedure done but we are very confident that it will go well.

reply by Pam (respa) on 07-Feb-2023
    I know what you mean about have to rock to rely on, and that you have confidence about the procedure. That is a good thing.

Yes, we must embrace and be grateful for every moment we share with our loved ones. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, with or without health problems. So live each moment to the fullest and enjoy each other's company. Thank you for the lovely reminder.
