The Rimer And The Venus Comments

I like this one a lot. I fail to see the consequence of elopement, but that is probably a cultural divide. I see the Rimer is asking what is true love how can you tell. What a great question. How can you? Is this a grievous thing then to marry without parents or family? If it is love true, then how can it be so. I love Venus's reply. Love is the most wonderful thing in the world if love it is, or the worst if it is selfish, how profound that verse. Very lovely. Venus does not deny an elopement, just the selfishness of keeping love to themselves. Venus wishes all love true, not caring how it came to be, but feeling the cheating of the couple to the parents. I like this one a lot. Once I quit reading the prologues I can get to the poem. Again, I believe poetry is what I get from it, perhaps not even what you meant, but the beauty I see in the words you express. Excellent on this one, into my favorites it goes and BRAVA on a well written, rich context poem that is insightful, thoughtful and beautiful.

Very beautiful poem. I congratulate you for picking up such an important subject. I am cent percent agree with you on this issue. Very honest and poignant write indeed. Kudos to your effort.
