One Heart

My sweet love dear when you are near my heart beats fast true love at last. When first we met our fate was set; the seed was sown our love has grown; and then we wed I do was said; our bond was sealed our love to yield. Our lives’ were whole our hearts and soul for life shall we as one to be. Through all the years, though there were tears, our love grew strong we sang life’s song. To you I gave my love to save to light your way when skies were grey. You gave to me, and I felt free from pain I knew when times were blue. Till life is done we will be one; we ne’er will part we share one heart.

John I loved this poem it really flowed and rhymed well.. I think the 31st line prevented you from finishing higher.. Still an excellent poem.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

A miracle with four syllables!! This one I have been putting off but I better do it darn fast. You really nailed it with this cute romantic tribute.

Thanks, Andrea. I thought this would be a difficult challenge but once I got started it flowed pretty smoothly. I read a few of the entries and they all were very similar. You can’t get too creative with 4 one syllable words per line. John

Hi John, You did a great job with the 128 words. It is so beautiful and romantic. It could be a Valentine's day poem as well. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis
