Question: Would you give me your opinion on my poem!? Thank you!!?
I wrote a villanelle (well, half a villanelle, I made it a little shorter than they usually are because I was running out of steam!) for my boyfriend for our anniversary!. I know it's really sappy and silly, but I think he'll get a kick out of it!. So if you could give me some kind of constructive criticism, I'd really be grateful!. I always write in formal schemes, but this is my first time trying my hand at a villanelle!. also, I don't have a title yet - any suggestions!?

Thanks in advance! =]

High above, the stars are bright,
diamonds in the velvet skies;
Two hearts, entwined – it feels so right!.

You hold my hand beneath the night,
and I look into your eyes;
high above, the stars are bright!.

You have all my love tonight,
and always, for it never dies!.
Two hearts, entwined – it feels so right!.

To be with you is pure delight!.
The winter wind sweetly sighs,
and high above, the stars are bright;
Two hearts, entwined – it feels so right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Holy crap! I got goosebumps! lol It was really,really good!. Honestly!. Good job! You really have a talent! And you could just call it like "Two Hearts in Velvet Skies" or something! Good luck! I think your bf will love itWww@QuestionHome@Com

I like the imagery, but the rhyme scheme doesn't really fit as well as it could!. I suggest possibly changing it to sound more sing-song-y (haha) with a rhyme scheme like AABB or ABAB or even ABCB!. Good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

i love your poem, im sure your boyfriend will love it!. im not sure of a title how about two hearts collide (that one sucked i know)Www@QuestionHome@Com

i dont usually like poetry (find it too wordy), but this is pretty good!.
For a title, how about "Two stars across eternity"Www@QuestionHome@Com
