I wonder
will our children
have your brown skin
or my blue eyes?
On our first date, will you
open doors for me, or
ask if it’s impolite to kiss?
How will you propose?
Will you spell the question
in sand at our lake, or
utter it, grinning,
as our families watch on?
On our wedding day,
will tears sting your eyes
as you watch me, a white blur,
down the aisle?
Will you whisper your love
as we lie, entwined
in our shared bed?
When we’re wrinkled and old,
will you still take my hand
and say
you knew I was the one
since that day we danced?
All this, while I
watch you from the back row,
your head bent over your desk,
we’d not yet met,
and I wondered.

I really liked your poem. It was interesting and I loved the ending. May I suggest that you put the first paragaraph after the wedding paragraph. This will fit more nicely with the timeline. You have the ages increase of the characters throughout the poem and i think you should stick to that. I loved how the characters grew up. Very good job!

Well there is just so much beautiful feedback on this poem... maybe it's time for some negative. So, here goes: JUST KIDDING! This is actually a really good poem and I enjoyed reading it alot. One suggestion I have is that in the first line, you may want to put hyphen after that or maybe an extra space between the first and second lines. It just sounds like it jumps into that second line way too fast - there needs to be a pause. "I wonder will our children" just doesn't sound quite right. Take a pause - some time for reflection - after you say you wonder. But other than that this is great. Keep it up!
