Is this poem any good?

Not really into poetry much myself but I quite like it, although I can't put my finger on why if that makes sense?

Thanks, think im the same!

Bump.

Just wondering if anybody has some feedback. Wedding this saturday!

Not for me. I like poetry in general but this one has, in the words of AC, zero literary merit - it belongs on a greetings card. Also, I think I'd rather hear genuine, original words rather than a poem from the internet.

I have no particular feelings either way about the poem itself, but why do you want to include a poem, seeing as you say you know nothing about it? I'd understand the inclusion of a poem if you'd written it yourself, or if you were both into poetry and had a particular poem that meant a lot to you. As it is, if you're planning on reading it out to your OH during your speech, I think it'd be a bit cringeworthy for your guests.

I'm afraid I'm not too keen on it either - Sorry...

I think it would be a lot more moving if the same sentiment were said in your own words, and not in a poem as its a speech.

You could always find a more classic poem and have it at a reading in the ceremony?

Not a fan, sorry.

I wouldn't have liked my husband to have nabbed a few lines off the internet to read out to me. His own poem, fine (or at least a literary great!).

My other issue with it is the line "I'd die to hold you or to kiss you or merely see your face' - erm, you'll have just married him, you can look right over any time...

Agreed I'm afraid, too cheesy for me but I'm not really a soppy person.

If you like it though I really don't see why our opinion matters? x

No, that's just being nice here, Trickers! No fluffiness allowed in the Fight thread

I don't like it either sorry. Definitely a Hallmark card entry type poem. If you like it and think it would mean something to your OH, use it.
