If We Were To Meet Again

Tears would cascade from my eyes if we were to meet again. My stomach would fill with butterflies if you knocked upon my door. My voice would waiver, unable to speak my body, tremble with eagerness, Crimson blush would color my cheeks if I felt your touch once more. Stars would never shine as bright as the love light in my eyes. Everything wrong would become right if you kissed my lips as before.

Jenna, your poem does a great job of "show, don't tell", which Brian is a big advocate for. Describing your tears, stomach, voice, cheeks, and eyes makes your point poetically without the need for naming the emotions in play. I can see why he would love it; I love it too. Enjoyed your rhyme scheme as well. Well done, and congratulations on your #1 ~ John

Must have written this poem for me Jenna. My husband and I in our early twenties were going out together for a year, then suddenly, no argument, nothing wrong we drifted. We both got married to different partners, both had a wonderful son, and then divorced . Twenty years after, Elias phones me out and fished if I had a boyfriend, or engaged or married. We went out for 6 weeks and he proposed to me! Twenty years later we are still like lovebirds. Faved your poem! Blessings and hugs, Jenn.
