I like this one Val. Nice to see some common sense is still around.
so nice a will dedicated to a maiden...........chastity must be upheld.............keep writing!
Magnificent ode, not so much old fashioned as well groomed with etiquette which in todays age of show and tell is not a bad thing to have. This shows a pride that many a young women should take care to see. Your language Is rich and reminiscent of classics. A Fine maiden who shines a beacon of temperance and love. Cool read
Well, bravo, somebody STILL has some Morals. Aside being a wonderful Poet, I always knew you were a Lady. Lovely, warm blooded poem, really liked, thank you, S

These words confirm the maiden`s most striking credibility as a lady in waiting. Marriage is the true union of minds and I think in the West too more of you ought to get married like we the Indians do. Hope this maiden will find her true life partner soon.

The only way to travel in life with this old fashioned ditty singing out the maidens plea written so easy to read, clever to boot...regards

The message from the heart of a maiden, Dear Vale Dohren...10
I used to know a few ditties when I was in the military! It flows beautifully as usual from your great poems.
A valuable virtue that is still alive even though in the minority. A rich and refreshing rhyme scheme my friend!
