Hello! Ley here to leave a quick and hopefully enjoyable review!
Firstly, I always like to start off with first impressions. This was a super well-written poem, and I loved how you formatted it. I could definitely tell that, even though you say you haven't written poetry in a while, that you're definitely skilled in it! I'd love to urge you to write more poetry, as this was amazing and I'd love to read more of your work. I'm not a very great poet, but I really do enjoy reading others!
As for the content, I was locked in since after I read the first stanza! I'm a sucker for poetry about love, and you really set the informative yet creative tone with:
It accepts,
and perseveres and takes root,
deep even in soil most parched.
I loveeeddd the comparison and imagery here, how you compared love to a living thing such as a plant or flower. How even in the hardest times, love will always win. I really enjoyed that stanza.
I couldn't find any grammar mistakes and I don't have any suggestions on format, so you're good to go, there!
Now, for the ending. Oh, how I loved it! It was the perfect way to end the whole thing, and left me with something to reflect on.
Thank you for posting this! It was an awesome read. I hope to read more of your writing around YWS! <3
With Love,
Ley
