Notes About The Poem

Please, fellow poets, if you see I made any errors in my list, let me know. This project consumed my entire afternoon and I just have to hurry off here now. Sorry if I did not include some of my other good friends here. If the contest rules had allowed it, I would have produced a poem with at least 50 titles in it!

Advice For the Honeymoon - Advice For Life

What matters most – advice for the bride and groom:
Indulging in sweet wine; a picnic for two;
a plethora of stars; myriads of blooms!
Listen; believe; do something new.

Alone – entwined – evening delight!
Words so meaningful . . . a silken wait;
Splendid isolation into the dark of night.
Connection of affection -
             Always and forever – in the moment – CELEBRATE!

WOW Andrea an absolutely outstanding poem, my goodness I know how long you take perfecting your poetry and this is exceptional. It is a heck of a challenge I only used 2 filler words but you used none and had rhyme! Into my faves and thanks for including me in your poem its hard to choose just 20 titles I wish we could have done more. Hugs Jan xx

It's amazing to me how you can make such a cohesive, viable sounding write out of just titles. You did good. <3 :)
