Karen, your poem is a wonderful tribute to Debi and Glen for their 50th Anniversary--what a golden treat. Debi and Glen will love the poem, and you have made their day extra special and extra sweet. Of special note:

sway in bliss to a song they both love.
"Could I have This Dance For the Rest of My Life?"

(A song that is timeless)

Good rhyming. Well done. Beautiful presentation.
There is nothing left to say except to wish Debi and Glen a
Happy 50th Anniversary. May they have many more years
of love and happiness. Xo. Margaret

    I bet they do!

    Debit mentioned the Anne Murray song, so including it was fun.

    Thanks!

Mixed meter???????????? What does that even mean? (bumfuzzled face here)
I had to look up halcyon, but that's all right - I didn't die.
Ann Murray is one of the best. I loved all her songs.
Best wishes and congratulations to Debi and Glen.

    I'm glad looking up halcyon wasn't terminal! (smile)

    And I agree... "Meter" is a "thing" but my addled brain doesn't seem to make it work very often.

    Thanks for the congrats to Debi and Glen, which is all that matters!

Love the title and this charming verse of celebration to Debi and Glen on their golden anniversary. My congratulations too! I certainly don't think your meter in any way undermines the sweetest and most sincere thoughts conveyed here. I'm so sorry I have nothing more to give. Take care Debbie

    No to worry! I don't post enough to worry about star counts...

    I DO love that you stopped by and read my attempt to spread some light on Debi and Glen!

    Fifty Years! (Spoiler alert---I have made it to nine--maximum!)

    LOL...

    Thank you, Debbie!

A beautiful poem, Karenina. I'm so glad to see those writing their "well wishes" and "congratulations" to Debi and Glen. Debi is so special - so sweet to everyone here and she is always the first to honor those who have birthdays and special occasions.

This is lovely - thanks for sharing it with Debi and the rest of us.

xoxo
Pam

Nice complementary picture art choice.
Nice reading flow and abab rhyme scheme
"setting sail on the marital sea" Good metaphoric imagery.
This is such a sweet love poem, depicting the enduring affection a couple have for each other. Well crafted.

    I don't think anyone makes it to their Golden Anniversary without God's blessings!

I feel adrift at sea because some of my FS buddies and fans no longer read and comment on me, and when I ask TOM he says nothing has changed but there have been three that confirmed they are no longer being notified. Maybe they should recertify me again.
Congrats on the successful marriage.

    Hey... I don't think I've been getting your notifications! I'm about to double check that you didn't fall off my FAN LIST. Or, have you been entering blind contests? We don't get notification on those!

    I'm on it! Thanks, Tom--

    I was told my last one was blind - Life is still a Dream but others (I started a series of stories from "Thoughts from a Demented Mind" a month or so ago. Mostly, dream interpretations that I remember with the break of dawn. Read a few and you may want to join in. Membership includes a white-strait-laced jacket and padded room.

    Oh? Pretty sure I have one of those jackets in my closet. (grin)

    It's so hard to untie them, though!
