Notes About The Poem

2026-06-14 Forevermore Poetry Contest

Forevermore

The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.  -  Henry Ward Beeecher.

He was madly in love with her.
Forevermore was a real promise,
It was not for a few days
But rather forever and forevermore.

They met one Saturday morn.
She was sitting on a bench
In front of one of several cottages.
She adored the shade.

All around a wisteria climbed the walls
Purple flowers adorned the site.
“Don’t touch the seeds or pods, my friend.”
He advised the beauty sitting in the shade.
“Wisteria can cause irritation.”

They soon became acquainted 
And went for walks across the cobbled paths.
They picked wild flowers and held hands.
After work, they always met
For a tasty dinner in the Wisteria Cottage.
It was a habit they acquired forevermore.

Soon it was wedding bells for them.
They vowed love, hope, and patience forevermore.

After the 3rd stanza, you switch from 1st person to 3rd, deliberate? You have written so many beautiful love poems that include a beach that I've often wondered if beaches are special to your own love life. A beautiful poem, Victor. I hope you found my SoupMail. CayCay

Ahhh!! What a nice love story. Since I have seen many of these with forevermore as a theme, I am guessing it is a contest going on. If so, this one reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K.
