Lovelyone,
This is a beautifully written piece of true love poetry, my friend.

Simply written with words of deep description and devotion.

The flow was fluid like a mountain stream cascading down over the ripples of the rocks.

Thank you for the read.

This is a very honest poem, written with a certain elegance and grace that I haven't seen in a very long time. To portray emotion in poetry is often very difficult for some people, but you have no trouble in showing the extent to which you feel for the person in question.

The rhymes feel natural as you read them and the rhythm is constant.

Very well done

Kira

I think that whoever said that it reads like a wedding vow was right. I also think that it was one of the most beautiful things I personally have ever read! I only wish I read it before my wedding. they would have been perfect! But then again, maybe not. I just managed to get through without tears or outbreaks of nervious laughter. This would have pushed it way toward the tears.
Beautiful job! Keep up the absolutely wonderful work!

Tenth grade? This poem is a gem, The Absentminded Professor, and one you should be extremely proud of. Having written since I was in elementary school...third grade to be precise...I knew I would one day pursue my dream. I did, and am now a published author and poet. I wish you the best in all that you do!

Review Of "Love without expectation" (nw) [Rated: E]

Reviewer's Rating: (5.0)

Love without expectations. Once more I am impressed by your connections. I truly admire the way you reach conclusions. In your words I can see your heart, it is nice and sweet, a heart that embraces hope and allow you to write about the easiest and hardest subjects of all, such as love. I like the fact you can see past the flesh, past the eyes, into the soul of humanity. You recognize the uniqueness behind it all, and that makes your writing more meaningful. In a culture where most people are worried about obtaining “pride”, I can see there are some doing the contrary, trying to be a bit more humble, and perhaps that is the way go. I trust the direction your writing takes and how it leads the reader by the hand, with clarity and sincereness as as a guide. The fact that you compare humans to animals brings to the light the truth about all of us. We can be the most beautiful or the most hideous creatures walking this earth, and it is all a matter of choice, the choice we can always make and always regret. As you said “The animal kingdom operates on the rules of self-preservation, of trying to obtain at all costs what is of personal benefit to them.”
Humanity can rise above egoism, and I believe your Essay does just that, it shows us the choices we have to do so. Great work.

WOW! I think every couple needs to read this. The emotion I felt was some laughter and some tears. At one point, I ducked my head in shame because I could pinpoint some of my areas that I personally need to work in. I have been married for 20 years and every once a while, a person needs to take a step back a readjust their thinking and actions toward the one they love. It's sad to write this, but it took me a long time to love. I cared about the man I married when we first married, and it took me a space to grow to love him. You see, I do not believe in love at first sight. I heard it exist, but I personally have never experience it.

My favorite part is the following:

True love is true recognition of the inherent good in human beings, generous forgiveness of their faults, and an appreciation of the fact that you are not the most important person on the planet. It is putting the person that you love above you, in the sense that you are willing to put their interests before your own, even at a significant disservice to yourself.

It took me a while to learn this when I first got married. I held grudges like you would not believe. It took reading a book titled "70X70". It's a rough book to get through. Forgiveness is something that all couples need to do unconditionally and willingly right off the bat. It soothes like an ointment. Plus, learning to put the person you love - above yourself is the key. My mother-in-law is a published writer and she wrote in my journal once - learn to laugh at each other. NEVER go to bed angry. She wrote of an incident between her and my father-in-law. They were arguing in bed - over something so ridiculous, but she was determined to get her point across. However, it never worked. She was so upset at him that she rolled over to ignore him - and beautifully kept going and fell off the bed. He rolled over and looked down at her and they both laughed till they cried.

Love, laughter, & forgiveness. All combinations that work together.

With your permission, I would love to put this link in my management links. That way, when my port is visit, this will catch their attention and generate readers to this essay.

Lovely One,
This is a beautiful story, my friend. Even though it is also very sad with the failure of a happy ending.

It is exstremely well written the characters and the subject were excellent.
I enjoyed the read as it kept me totaly enthused and impatient to read the rest as soon as possible.

You have certain qualities in your stories that only a few writers can accomplish as an author.
I certainly don't consider myself an expert on story writing, but your stories intrique me.

Thanks for the great read, my friend.

THIS IS SPECTACULAR! I loved every word. It has a number of typos, but then it IS still a work in progress. THe key is it's a WONDERFUL work. I especially love what Elaine told Oskar's family when his mother accused her of killing him. AND the twist at the end with the marriage of Mr. Towson. PLEASE let me know as you refine this. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT A REVISION TAKING AWAY ANY OF THE WONDERFUL QUALITY OF THIS TALE, let me see the revision first. I'll help all I can. This is one of the best stories I've read in a LONG time. Be careful not to lose any of its moods as you edit. All the emotions are strong, and well placed. Keep that.

Great story in the vein of the Bronte classics.
A terrific read.

There is a school of writers/literary critics who would note the action of 'eyes'. They get a little antsy when 'eyes' do things the are impossible. I have not been sure of what they mean, but I think these examples are what they are talking about. I think you can cast your gaze.. but not your eyes.. although you can have downcast eyes.. It's all very confusing. Your writing is terrific, and from these few examples I feel I have learnt something too.
I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you.
It's not WRONG.. As far as I know.. just that some overly critical publishers/editors get hot under the collar about it.
Thanks again. Great work.
Rose.

What a well written story! It was extremely painful to read and I was practically crying at their fate, yet at the same time it was overwhelmingly beautiful. You have created a a cast of characters who, while they might not be the most lifelike, are nevertheless real and inspiring. Your style as well seems to have touches of an earlier era, though I can't put my finger on quite what. I also loved the passages about the mortal and the immortal soul. Thank you for sharing this tremendous story!

I haven't read all the entries in your blog yet, though, God willing, I hope to at some point. I've read enough to know I love it. You write clearly and have a real talent with words. You're not afraid to reflect on deep and difficult issues, and I like that a lot. The introduction to your blog is excellent and really prepares the reader for what's in store. I'm very much into life-long learning and deep reflection. I like your world view and find a lot in it that I agree with.

I'm also touched by your honesty and openness regarding how much you find life a struggle at times. I pray that many good times await you in the future.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm making this review public in the hope that others will wish to check out your blog - it certainly deserves a wide readership.

I took this poll a long time ago but forgot to rate and review it. Oops!

The scenario you set up here is really dark and depressing but it certainly sets up a real ethical dillema and makes the person answering the poll question what's truly important.

I answered in favour of keeping my principals. I believe that our personal integrity is the one thing that can't be forcefully taken from us. Our moral values and belief systems are a vital part of who we are as people.

I think this is a fascinating subject for discussion. In fact, it is something I have thought about quite often...not necessarily in the exact way you presented it, but at times, I find myself question my personal code of ethics. I very much enjoyed this, and must say that it is a think piece in the highest sense.

The only thing I would look at is the last line of the second to last paragraph. I believe that should be "deceived BY you". Just something to think about...I'd hate for people to notice that and lose some of the over all power this very well could hold over them.

Excellently done, I give it a 5 out of 5 with nigh a doubt in sight!

Good luck and keep writing!

Reviewer's Rating: (4.5)

Hi. I found your wonderfull story from the Sci-Fi forum, so I am going to try to answer the questions that you posted there.
First, overall, it struck me as very mysterious, kinda creepy in the beginning, then just more intriguing as it progressed.
Elise, again I first thought was just wierd, and creepy, and still like that later on, but less so. Dr. Wilde is less developed it seems to me, but overall he just a regular guy, trying to do his job. I think their interactons reviel more about her since she controlls the conversation for the most part, but she remains mysterious - and I love that!
The concepts are very interesting. The necklace seems so magical at first, that I have to say I was a little disapointed when it turned out that something as mundane as a micochip controlled it, but as the rest of the technology was introduced, it all fit so well together it didn't bother me anymore.
Scene setting is great, I had a perfect picture in my minds eye of the room and Elise, but not really of Dr Wilde. I almost felt cold at the beginning of the piece.
As for surprises, I was surprised bu almost all of the developments so far - whith my greatest shocks being when the necklace began to float, when Elise kisses the Dr., and when he wakes up at home with a piece of the necklace.
I was a little nervous tht I wouldn't have the painence to finish the whole thing at once when I saw the legenth, but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. I'm interested to see where you go from here, I'd love to read more. Thanks for the story!

That's very romantic, and I love how it's done in dialogue form. The old language is really nice, too. Great poem!!

This is a ripe story for one of those melodramatic mini-series. The end of the story got me. I had no idea she would commit suicide. You very cleverly led me through the story without revealing her definite intentions to "join Oskar". I could see this piece being presented by an Alfred Hitchcock show or the Outer Limits show. I saw a very adept aptitude for mystery, fantasy and sci-fi in your story. I think those areas are your forte'. Loveliest, thank you for an edge of my seat read. You are a deep person and your writing reflects a "still waters run deep" flavor. Thank your for allowing me to read your port. Take care and keep writing. Bye for now. Bless your heart, Elaine

Loveliest Maiden; This is a very well written piece of poetry. It has the Shakespearean effect I do like it. Are you in college, majoring in perhaps Literature? You are a very good writer Sweetie. Kings

Well it funny that you asked try to guess the meaning, well i don't have a clue. Maybe you can explain it to me. All i know you have your own style of writing, unlike other people on this site. I guess you can say you are a true poet. Yep, you are.

I see you really know how to write, and you have talent. A lot of it. The guy was just handing her a bunch of stuff she wanted to hear. So we will all wait with her and we we see what happens.

a beautifully written piece. i love how you encorporated the seasons within the piece. the last line, wasnt as much of an ending as it was a kind of..."sequal soon to come" kind of thing. you kind of ask yourself, isnt she going to get over this guy? heh. but its really worked out. you have a nice original rhythm to your poetry that you showed at the beginning two stanzas. nice job.

It speaks volumes in a very simple unspoken promise. There are many ways to say "I love you" and this one is unique yet strong.

It is strong in imagery and foreboding...a kind of dark song-like quality. It's kind of an old theme, but presented well so it makes a good read for even me and I not a big fan of "dark/sad" work.
