The Marine.

Judging comment:

That's a fantastic poem, I literally have no words to describe how graceful and beautiful this is. You're able to create a mystical atmosphere with these words of yours, and turn even the most mundane event into something magical and full of meaning. I also love it how not only are you able to understand the woman's emotions, but you can also feel the marine's emotions as well, in spite of it being written from the woman's point of view. This beautiful apparently simple poem reveals an outstanding ability to create poetry, you are like an alchemist whose touch can turn iron into gold. Awesome job.

Christmastime <- I always thought that it was a two word rather than one. But I just checked the dictionary, it's either or. Thanks

I think I read this story on Fb, though, I liked the poem better.

Specially, this lines:

"Your eyes held war yet softness,
service and love,
everything I wish to become."

And the ending:

" a man who's story
it would be an honor to learn"

^ What I truly liked about the poem and overall about your experienced was the admiration that is felt through your words and also the impact that he had on you. I guess that could be a reason why Hannah and Chelsey were suggesting you to have asked for his number. lol

But I caught my attention of the ending was that you said, "an honor to learn," specially the word learn, on other occasions I would see "hear" or "read" but you want to learn his story. Peculiar but interesting. 5/5

Such an amazing story!!! It's amazing how someone can touch your life by doing something so simple like that. It's not often you find people like that that anymore, especially shopping. Most customers come to find their stuff and get out, so this was very nice to read.

I'm with Chelsey, you should've asked for his number! :P lol

I think you mentioned this story on facebook... It's amazing how you've turned it into a beautiful, moving piece!

I adore it.
