Jan, the poem is so well constructed, I am sure she would say yes. Yet I love that you leave it up to us....that gives readers a chance to think about our own experiences and think about the circumstances. Great poem and poetic technique!!! Smiles!

I don't know. Does she love him? To be continued? lol Jan. I'm just kidding you. You've entered a different take on nine lines but different can be refreshingly good.

I discovered i could do a reverse nonet so it worked well with the last line being 9 syllables. I hope Constance likes it - its rare for me to write romantic lines lol. got some penguin humour i will post later xx
