HI Susan,
Congratulations on your Seal of Quality! That's a fantastic reward and I'm happy for you. I'm also a little jealous, but I'm sure my poetry isn't up to fanstory standards to ever achieve such a wonderful award. This is a lovely poem and truly deserving.
Sincerely Joy xx

Comment from BeasPeas
I like your fours and sixes poem. Well presented. The reference to kismet is correct, I think. We can plan, but not in love. It's all about chemistry and happenstance that determines the meeting and whether it will fly or not. Ha, ha. Then it takes a lot of work to keep it going. Good word choices and rhyming. Topic is always timely. Marilyn

Comment from sandy montgomery
I thought your poem deserved six stars because it is executed perfectly in form. The rhymes are natural and the lines flow well together. Love is certainly a classic theme of poetry and "Love's Flames" has a very classical feel. I found it beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work.

Comment from WalkerMan
When two kindred spirits who have found each other after a long time of separate loneliness (and even adverse circumstances) finally attain certainty that they belong together, the heat of their passionate hearts feels all-consuming; and their mutual desire to make the most of each moment is unquenchable. Yet, in their intervals of rest in each other's arms, they feel the comfort and joy of their new precious union of hearts, minds, and bodies.
As the illustration implies with the horde of cold hands reaching for their flaming joined heart, others may envy them but can neither break their bond nor capture any part of their bliss. They had their chance, but proved themselves unworthy. True love, once found, rightfully is unassailable.
Your sestets of a rhyming couplet plus an envelope rhyming quatrain (aabccb) are flawless and flow smoothly. Only you write "discreet heat" poems with such depth of meaning. Superb.

Excellent end rhyme pattern. The internal rhyme and sibilant sounds make the poem flow smoothly when said aloud. Well done.

Comment from Auto-Manic
Love is amazing. I think I could just leave it at that but comments here need to be so many characters until the quota is met...unlike love, which has no quota, word count, and like you said...Kismet. Which I always thought was a word really close to 'Kiss Me." Ha!
Nice

And with one review the mind is off...haha know the song?
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress// thanks for the review!
