I love acrostics. I wonder if I've read other poems of yours & not noticed it was an acrostic? The way you make the first letters bigger drew my attention to it, so maybe I haven't missed any others! The key to a tight acrostic is not having it feel as if words have been chosen to fit the form, rather than flowing in a natural way. Your poem definitely has a natural romantic flow that would make a reader forget he/she is reading an acrostic! (((HUGS)))

This is just lovely, I loved the line, “Love does sing on a breath of a sigh”, just brilliant! The finale was perfect.

your last verse is the highlight of your all poem! it alone with few more brushes can stand as a poem itself, honestly it's the one I like the best on this piece, I know You choose to repeat the word "Valentine" on purpose, but I was thinking maybe if You used it less there it will strengthen your poem more? I will read it again to see how I feel about it, and of course always a romantic sweetness to read :>

Within a Valentine’s dream
I hold you close, in love’s embrace
The passion that flows deep within our hearts
Here in Valentine stars, our love is displayed
In the midst of love’s stars, desires are fulfilled
Now and forever, eternal; my Valentine

I do have a habit in some of my writes on using certain words within it a little too much. I shall see what I can do with the piece. I do like your last line for the first verse. I do think I shall use it. Thank you for your assistance. Hugs always....Mike.

Thank You so much for your humble self receiving my note with an open heart, and please always be honest and give me your notes on my pieces anytime I accept them :>
