Hello sweetheart!

Wow! How many reviews of your poems have I started with that word now? Always sincerely meant. Your writing is of such quality that I naturally find myself having high expectations of a fantastic read when I come to work of yours for the first time. The bar you set is up in the clouds. I've now reviewed over 190 of the items in your port and you haven't disappointed me yet (not that I would ever feel disappointed if you were to write anything below par!). Even with high expectations I still find myself pleasantly surprised, nay gobsmacked, by your writing on numerous occasions, this definitely being one of those.

You warned me that this poem is cheesy. I really don't think it is (admittedly I may not be the best judge as I have been told I'm a very cheesy guy; I prefer to think I'm just a romantic ). I think it's remarkably difficult to write anything fresh and original in the genre of love poetry but I think you've achieved that here and your writing is so strong it rises above any cheesiness and cliché. Impressive stuff indeed.

And what a breath of fresh air after you've produced some very dark poems of late (which are wonderful too). So good to see you writing something so positive that reflects your romantic side and your belief in the power of love.

The Rondeau works a treat as the framework for your poem, especially with the refrain and rhyme scheme.

The bit about plot twists really made me smile -- very clever while subtle and unshowy. The first two lines of your second stanza is my favourite part of the poem (that 'quail / bail' rhyme is genius!) but I really love the whole thing. As typical with your work you don't waste a single word and there's a wonderful musicality to how the words flow together. Your ear is impeccable ~ what a gift. You lucky thing you ;-P

This may well end up being among my favourites of your poems.

Now be encouraged to write more! This fan's appetite for your writing is insatiable.

Lots of love,
Mark ~~
