This one says everything a body needs to say when it comes to being truly in love. Short sweet directly to the point and the heart will eventually see the truth, eventually! Well done. xoxo Kiwi

This work has reached the exceptional level

hey you...thank you for reminding what is most important. Yes maam if we are to be forgiven we must forgive first.....we think this is weakness but it is the most strength depleating thing (sacrifice) that one can do....and it takes a commitment to an unseen faith to accomplish it....the weak wont even try. Love Michael

In the proverb you use, it is almost always in reference to emotional pain and certainly here that can also be the case. However I think your simple little poem can be interpreted as physical pain too from an abusive relationship. In such relationships the abused believe they love the abuser and over and over again they forgive.
Either way the 5-7-5 fits the competition's criteria well and is an interesting and pleasant read. Good luck.

I like this, in a way. It reminds me of my mothers struggle to free herself of violent men and our families cry, where, as children, we longed for a father, even a bad one.

    I am glad you likes my poem. It is a sad thing when this happens, you sound like you have moved on from this so that is good news x

you did a good job on this with the few words allowed. You penned your thought perfectly. i like the last line, which is a summary of how love is..it forgives. Great picture as well.

Very Good. A Haiku though? A good 5-7-5 Good subject tells a story; not much of an aha moment in my opinion. Must have had a great impact on you though and God bless you for forgiving again. That is a rare and exciting thought. If you are married you have a high purpose. How will you ever have level footing again? God can do whatever you ask Him. Stay well.

    Thank you for enjoying my poem, and thinking it very good. I believe the contest rules said just 5 7 5, not a Haiku or senryu, so any subject, rhyming or not as long as the proverb was in there.

Your Proverb 5-7-5 Poem, My Broken Heart, is well written with a perfect syllable form. Your poem also has a wonderful proverb: Where there is love, there is pain. I guess without pain, we would not know what love was?

Your proverbial poem very smoothly includes the proverb along with your added explanation. Very well written 5-7-5 poem. Good luck in the contest.

Well-written 5-7-5 poem with a proverb.
Forgiveness may mend a broken heart, but the pain is still there. Well-done! Good luck in the contest.
