Your review cuts through the surface and soaks to the core, like a warming breeze that knows no bounds, and your gentle, feminine voice rings sweet upon the ear.
Almost all my poems are from imagination, unless comments say otherwise, and most assuredly I love how this one effects you so nicely … and, I can imagine you being wooed as romantically heartfelt as you feel this one is. : )
Hug you with blessing all over for enriching my moment with such sweetness! ~ Richard
That's a lovely story, Richard. It's rough not being rich and handsome. It can cause us so much work. Haha
Thanks for sharing.

Anton is the jewel of a fine poet, and a most wonderful listener to a wannabe teacher. : )
Ironically, he said the same about You to me.

Thank you. Being a young poet, I hope, I will learn many things from you.
A beauty! You have given breath to a new hymn of love full of nectar found within each handpicked untamed flower. The restless sincerity, the passion, the heartbeats, the vows make the most magnificent bouquet of all.
lovely :D

I could not help but smile
all deeply inside,
and knew for awhile
you'd fill me with pride.
M'Lady, I thank you,
more than words say;
there are but a few
touch me such a nice way.
Thank you ever-so sincerely and warmly for your most endearing and lovely poetic review, and for letting me know I'm doing okay … this means a lot! ~ Richard
The most romantic of gestures cannot be purchased with money or coin. The richest of gifts are always bestowed from the heart such as your wildflower words. You obviously have a garden that is overflowing with petals. It's a pleasure to meet you in the garden of verse.

I always love and admire and appreciate those who take obvious pride in what they write and pay particular attention to both form and content. I appreciate the classics that are classic for just those reasons. It is I who am honored.
usually I'm not one for the old english style language, but this is an exception. Written very smoothly and eloquently,. There's not many like you around these days, glad to come across this gem. Keep on keeping on friend ~

You are most welcomed. I look forward to reading more!
Best apology poem ever written I believe, truly a masterpiece. A worn man, with only love left to give seeking wild flowers for his beloved, such precious sight you procure in the mind. How delightful it would be, walking the streets of old London, to see this outside the window of a flower shop, I'm certain all would buy. My only suggestion is for your 7th stanza, (understandably was used to fit in with a challenging rhyme scheme,) the word "guy", does break a little bit from the imagery of an old worn man, as 'guy' is usually used for a younger fella, however that said don't change the original please. 'Guy' here makes great use of alliteration and shows how the old man, him speaking, still thinks of himself as being young, at least at heart, and again it rhymes well, keeping with the flow. Really well written, thanks for sharing, please keep writing!

To receive such wondrous and encouraging praise form one so accomplished as yourself truly melts me into my socks … I think you've made me blush! : )
I feel the warm fuzzies glowing all over me from the screen, and I love it!
Ya, know, Nadia, there might have been a tug the moment I typed-in "guy", but if there was, I must have zipped right by it, and ya know, rhyming for me just sorta flows out as it comes, and I don't ever recall using a word just to make it fit the rhyme … it has to make sense, or it just doesn't fit.
Here (in Texas), a guy is just a man, as is mate, fella, chap, etc; and it never really dawned on me to think of "guy" in any other sense, but from now on, every time I type or say "guy", I'll think of You.
Smiles 'n hugs of warmest thanks to you for such a fantastic review, and for your input that will always be appreciated and desired, Dear Nadia! ~ Richard
