My 100th Poem Posted - Another Short Love Poem

This makes for the 102nd post of my blog, and, as two of them were prose, it is the 100th poem I have posted. I'm a little surprised I've kept going with this, I'm normally not a very regular person about these things. Surprised, however, does not begin to describe how I feel about the reaction to my poems - I have received over 2,300 pageviews since starting, mostly from the US, but from roughly 20 other countries as well, among them Germany, Norway, Japan, India, Russia, Brazil and Singapore. To my dear friends and readers - thank you so much for your affirmation and support - your kind comments have taught me that I do not need to be published to be a successful poet. Thank you.

So now, here's the poem!



You cannot find a fairer face
Not here nor there, not anyplace;
For sure, she is the world’s great gem
A diamond in God’s diadem;
And yet she thinks to dote on me,
And turn my I into our WE.
