Our Boomerang Love

Nancy L RODRIQUEZ 1965 (Temple)



              Our Boomerang Love
                By Nancy Rodriquez

 I thought we had said goodbye forever,
And it hurt my heart when we were not together,
Then I learned about  a way to manifest  my dreams,
You would appear on bended knee,
And propose your commitment to me,
I would soon become your wife,
And we stroll under the moonlight,
Then you move in for a romantic kiss,
One of the things we both have missed,
We had taken a pause in our relationship,
To be sound and sure of all of this ,
and we discovered how far we had come,
Without a doubt, our boomerang love.

    Wow, Nancy Rodriguez, 'Our Boomerang Love' truly captures the essence of enduring love and reconciliation. It is deep, heartfelt, and beautifully written. The emotional rhythm and cadence reverberating throughout the poem simply steals the heart of the reader. The concept of love returning like a boomerang is a striking metaphor that vividly depicts how some relationships can survive the vicissitudes of life to find their path back to one another. Additionally, the way you weave in the moments of tender romance with images of 'a romantic kiss', the moonlit stroll, and the dream manifestation absolutely enrich the poem's evocative quality. It's a beautiful recounting of love that is both poignant and striking. An absolute bliss to read! Keep up the wonderful work.

    Your poem "Our Boomerang Love" is deeply emotional and beautifully conveys the universal theme of love lost and rediscovered. Your use of the boomerang as a metaphor for love returning is very creative, adding a unique touch to your piece.

    You've also captured the essence of longing and realization strikingly well through lines like "Then I learned about a way to manifest my dreams" and "Without a doubt, our boomerang love". These lines encapsulate the feelings of many who have experienced a roller coaster of emotions in love.

    However, a suggestion for improvement would be to add more descriptive imagery to paint more vivid pictures in the readers' minds. Currently, the poem feels more direct and less illustrative. Further polishing the rhythm of the poem, possibly experimenting with some varying line lengths, could enhance the flow.

    Also, there seems to be a mix between past and present tense in the poem – it would be great, for cohesiveness, to stick with just one form throughout.

    Overall your poem is truly engaging, with much emotional depth and sincerity. Keep writing!
