A Love Story

His story, her story, their story, our story.

Her song, his song, a word divine

It began as a seed of sweet friendship

A tender touch, a sentiment benign

Bloss’md into another kind of kinship

Rose petals rained the day that they married

Like a beautiful but ominous cloud

The petals scattered, never tarried

Their petty things became a bitter shroud

A tiny, lovely girl was born to them

She was a very special one, indeed

Annmarie’s smile reminded those two

Of the great joy they had come to forget

Now, their song, a word eternal

Washed over the trying flames infernal.

Dear Aianarie,

The rhythm fell off after "Their petty things became a bitter shroud," to me anyways. I think you should work on the lines below that. It nicely flowed in a beautiful sonnet. The diction could be polished off some to formulate a more romantic piece like maybe "Annmarie's smile restored the bridge/of the great joy they come to forget." Another example is the introduction of the baby girl. You could continue to stretch out the metaphor of a garden by saying she budded, or a seedling was born.

I absolutely love how your poems tell a sweet and light story. I adored the imagery woven together and how it enveloped throughout the piece. The beginning was my favorite I have to admit. These lines, "It began as a seed of sweet friendship/ A tender touch, a sentiment benign," were touching and reminded me of a classic time relationships started with a friendship. Glad you are writing more poetry. Hope I can get more time to read some more of it.

Thank you for sharing!

Sincerely Victorious

God bless!
