A lovely, touching poem, presented
in rhyming couplets that work real
well.

It's the touch of love - it can be no other.

Beautifully written, Missy.

Well written poem that clearly depicts how just being with that someone special in our lives can make the worst moments seem like they were nothing.

Hi Justafan - four lovely couplets expressing the comforts of true love. The touch of a hand - lovely thought and the picture enhances your poem. Nice read. Warm regards Dorothy x

You have really gotten this romantic theme down to a science..A science of using the perfect words at just the right place..You show a lot of emotion in every thing you write..Others can learn a lot from you Lady Dixie... You inspire and that is, In my opinion, one of the best traits a person can have ...
Hugs

This poem is really beautiful, the well chosen words are very touching and so romantic. The voice over is very well done, you have a sweet voice. I am delighted that I have a six for it.

well done

Excellent love poem, both tender and imaginable.

When my day is tough and I'm at my wits end
All it takes is a touch ... a touch of your hand.

(Like the repetition of the touch in line 2; makes it emphatic. Spag: wit's end. If you take out 'my', I think it strengthens the line. Listen to it and see what you think.)

How is it you do this with just a touch of your hand
You make all that's wrong in my world...right again.

(Need a question mark at the end of the first line. Once again this couplet sounds great.)

The poem gets together really well; a statement of love based on the sensual element of touch is perfect. Focussing on one element helps the reader appreciate the wider use you make of other touch imagery.

Going very well, Missy. Those adjustments I've suggested are a matter of choice I think.
When the tears won't stop, my soul is in knots
You come to me and I open up... you convince me it's not one big plot.
(This is a great verse. Like that 'soul in knots' metaphor. Listen to 'soul's' rather than 'soul is'. The meter is strong then.)
When all I need is a hug and a kiss
I step into your arms and into bliss.
(That second line sounds great and is really sweet)

How romantic! It is so true there is no hurt that love can not cure. There is a special sensation in the hands. A kiss and a hug are sublime. It's so magic to be in love. You rhyme is steady until the last line yet the poem is great. The picture tells your words.

I loved your work. I am glad that your character has that person to open up with. That one person that understands you completely. That person is my mom. She knows me so well that she can just look at me and tell what I am feeling. My husband is still working on it lol. Great job

I wish I had a six for this. This is lovely writing. It flows so well. I love that it is unisex. It could be for a lover, a mom, a dad, a favorite uncle. Definitely works.
Kudos on a great job.

Really nice and I love that you did the audio...so nice to hear your voice and, also good to hear the meter just the way you intended. The rhyme is great and the way you approach the theme is great... it all comes together beautifully in the last line!
