"And the birds twitter like whispering violins”Quote by _Constance La France Love at First Glance Saw you sitting there one magical night And instantly my heart took off in flight Bravely I asked you if you’d care to dance It was a yes that led to our romance. The first moment I held you in my arms I was mesmerised by your luring charms Below the glitter ball you came aglow ‘Twas then I knew I could never let you go. As time went by we fell madly in love For us it was written in stars above My dream had came true when you said “I do” I vowed to always love and cherish you. Sadly came the tragic day we parted Leaving you left behind stricken hearted My darling wife, my life, my beauty Queen I'm still there beside you unheard, unseen. Without doubt we were an ideal match No one on earth could ever dispute that We’ll meet again on God’s ace-high dance floor Waltzing evermore in heaven’s splendour. *+*+* 25th May 2023 Writing Challenge A Quotes - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

In the sixteenth line, in the place of love, you can put "asset" to rhyme with "that" and your poem is simply superb. Perfectly written with the simplest words, but can't believe that it is so wonderful and meaningful. All the best!

When two people fall hopelessly in love it is as if a symphony, an opera, is playing loud at first and then softens and moulds your future love, i don't know why these two parted, perhaps death would be the only solution for me, because they were so ecstatically happy and in love. An Absolutely delightful poem Belle my friend. Hugs and blessings, JENNIFER.

Belle, You picked a great quote, and you wrote an emotional tale of love containing just an appropriate amount of gloom. They'll reunite in heaven and waltz all of the time. My best wishes to you for the contest.
