Hi Rebekka,

I'll take a virtual six any day of the week. I appreciate your enthusiastic comments. :)
Thanks!! Kim

Comment from CD Richards

Excellent

It wouldn't be a love poem without hockey ;-)

Forgive me, I know hockey is only one of your obsessions...

This is quite lovely, and a good tribute to Elizabeth Barrett Browning (as well as hubby, of course).

My favourite bit is:

My love, it's your sky blue eyes -
to melt my staunch resolve;
made stars align in my skies,
around which I revolve.

You know I'm a sucker for all things celestial.

Very nice job Kim. Alas I have no sixes left, so I hope a 5 and heartfelt admiration will do.

Hi Craig,

I'll take your heartfelt admiration over any type of a six any day :) Thank you for the wonderful comments. I'm hoping James will like it. One month 'til our 22nd anniversary. (Can you believe it? lol) This is me starting my Anniversary present early. I've never read much of EBB, I like her. I appreciate your review.

Your love poem is tender and beautifully composed. I particularly took notice of this, which I enjoyed so much.
"My love, we're like hockey games,
for that's what brings you smiles:
souls consumed by fiery flames
glowing gold and blue for miles."
Your author's note is interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing. Marilyn

Hi Barb,

Thank you so much for this exceptional six star rating and review. I always appreciate hearing what you think of my poems. I hadn't read many of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poems, but I decided I like her.

I liked the poem and how it was inspired by Ms. Browning. I'm a sucker for when people take famous poets or poems and reimagine them. I have no comments to improve it.

Excellent! So beautiful, well written especially the rhyming, and what a great tribute to love. This should be a classic Valentine's poem.
