The poem "Meeting My Superhero; Steven" presents a narrative of personal growth and discovery. However, there are areas that could be improved for clarity and impact.

1. Consistency in Structure: The poem lacks a consistent rhyme scheme and rhythm. This can make the poem feel disjointed and disrupt the flow for the reader. Consider revising to establish a more consistent structure.

2. Show, Don't Tell: The poem tends to tell the reader what is happening rather than showing it through vivid imagery or metaphor. For example, "having just met, I told of my goal" could be rephrased to something like "Our first meeting, my dreams spilled forth" to create a more vivid image.

3. Use of Cliché: The phrase "destiny opened the door" is a cliché. While clichés can sometimes be effective, they often lack originality. Consider revising this to create a more unique and impactful ending.

4. Character Development: The poem could benefit from more detailed characterization. The reader knows very little about "Steven" beyond his kindness and quiet ways. More specific details about his character could make the poem more engaging and emotionally resonant.

5. Punctuation: The poem could benefit from more consistent punctuation. Inconsistent punctuation can confuse the reader and disrupt the flow of the poem.

6. Word Choice: The poem could benefit from more varied and precise word choice. For example, "striking a chord" is a somewhat vague phrase that could be replaced with a more specific and evocative description.

In conclusion, while the poem has a compelling narrative, it could be improved by focusing on structure, imagery, avoiding clichés, character development, punctuation, and word choice.

The story of the two of you. As many times as I have heard it in your poems and in our conversations, I enjoy hearing it yet again. I can only hope to find a love like that.

Hi, Cat,
Superhero, indeed! It's always wonderful to hear about true love!
Best to you both,
L

It’s gorgeous and it’s lovely to read your writing as always. Please tell Steven I received the holiday letter and I’m wishing you guys a happy and safe new year. You hang tough, you’re so dear to me and the rest of us here.

Your friend and collaborator

What she doesn't mention is that, at the time that we met, I'd given up on ever finding anyone. I was 31 and painfully shy. At the time, she was riding a chopped KZ400 and I had a Honda 900C, which allowed her to invite me to ride with her motorcycle club. She was the inventor of the "wandering floozy" in Dungeons and Dragons. How could I resist her? As much as she believes that I saved her, she saved me. So it could be said that she is my superhero.

And Steven, too! Well done, both of you!

"Ten years, I went with a sealed heart
living with the rules I had self-imposed."

I know this well. Not for 10 years, my experience was a shorter span, but how you demonstrate the solving of the self-imprisonment through connection, kindness, and conversation - so true. It is a beautiful experience to find someone who is a living, breathing argument for love.
