Definitely a hopeless romantic and now showing in in French. Absolutely beautiful and enchanting Susan. The picture you have posted of the girl reading is perfect...I felt I was there. Romance at its finest

You are too kind! Especially since I still have "A Sonnet of Willows" floating in my head!
Altho you put a perfectionist level of care into crafting your words for a particular form, the thing I love is how your poem reads as if there were no form at all. No distractions, as it can sometimes be. Your verse flows with smooth sounding words clustered into groups (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

:-))) Wonderful review, Thank you! Yes, This could possibly be one of my favorite forms by Richard. .. read more:-))) Wonderful review, Thank you! Yes, This could possibly be one of my favorite forms by Richard. I often use his original forms.. "Dear Porteur" Yes, you got that..lol please Mr. postman :-)...I worry at times my language might not be clear to the reader. Thank you for reading another poem of mine! I do appreciate it and will get over to your page soon. :-)
Ah how you weave such romantic notions with your quill dear Susan. When he opens and reads your Lettre d' Amour he can hardly fail to be overcome with joy. Just as the reader of this piece must be. Lovely meter and wonderful flow with excellent rhyme and well chosen concepts.

Thank you for reading and the lovely review!! I do appreciate it :-)
i really like this...i felt like i was reading a poem from the 17 century, for some reason...has that flavor.
you rhyme with such natural ease...and the wording takes me back to old time poetry i have read.
thanks for that trip,
