Position:Home>Poetry> Down Memory Lane: Was this the greatest love poem ever written?

*Over two years ago before the poetry link was established as a separate thread (de-linked from books & other arts/humanities), a few veteran poets/critics, like Lady Annabella, may recall this seemingly simple love poem!. Yes, there have been many better-written poems!. However, it earns position 7 on my subjective list of the top-ten most memorable poems to have graced these links since I joined!. If a poem were to be judged 'great' on the basis of the number of responses it generates, then 'yuyu' (the poet) is unbeatable!
This poem generated not 40, not 50, not 60, not 70 and not 80 answers but a whopping 88 answers!!
*You may view my profile - "starred questions" and look for yuyu's question - "what do you think of this poem!?" You may also access her public profile to read her other poems and the 88 responses this poem generated!. The poet may still be around!. What a record!!
What's so special about the poem!?

7!.
What do you think of this poem!?
- By yuyu

When he walks he talks and there is no doubt about that
He reminds me of a thousand warriors
In a battle where he’s the winner
A taste of his kiss reminds me of honey molasses
There’s just no way to describe his scent
It is like no other
He’s got me caught up mentally, spiritually
He got me feeling like spring
With its blossoming flowers
Light of my life he is
Shining brightly through my soul
Emancipating me from girl to woman
Deep as the ocean I feel his touch
His masculinity has bewitched me forever
