Greetings THANKFUL SONALI Now What? !

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow*I am reviewing your poem as one of the judges for "Journey Through Genres: Official Contest" . Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*Your poem tells the engaging story of a young man in an arranged marriage, who makes a choice to stand up for his young bride, when she is taken advantage of by his family. He changes his whole life to stand up for her. I think it's love (as in the answer to the title question) and something more. We all wish that those we love would take our parts in times that are hard. But standing up to one's own family is pretty tough and could have long lasting consequences. You have to admire someone who does what he thinks is right.

When I read poetry, I look for passages and phrases that stick with me, that are memorable. I certainly found that here, more than once.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

It is tough to pick out just one, but this stanza is particularly brilliant:

"There may not have been chocolates
Or flowers, or diamond rings
There may not have been moonlit walks
Down lanes where nightingales sing."

Maybe not those things, but lovely poetry and heroic portrayal of a young man. That's what I found. Remarkable, original and inspirational.

My reviews are not harsh editing forays or critiques. They are my reactions and response to what I have read.

I thought your poem told an inspirational and moving story with originality of language and flair.
