This poetic conversation in haikus tells of how love can change a person's view of him/herself. Hardly anyone is really impossible to love. It just shows they weren't ever taught what true love is.

Keep writing

So very creative, this poetic answering of a lover's concerns. The sporadic rhyme adds a bit of spice. The short lines provide a quickness, an emphasis to the message of the poem. This is my first experience with a katauta, and I found it delightful. Thanks for sharing.

Sure sorry to not have the sixth star this one deserves! If only for the lesson alone, that's another six stars as the writing is outstanding for certain! I can't imagine anything to make this work any better and thank Sally for a great experience! HIS GRAYNESS

    Hi Vance; I will take your virtual six star rating. (Its the thought that counts!) I think sometimes we all doubt the ones that love us and question WHY? I appreciate your thoughtful and kind review,

I like the way you have contrasted the two characters here, both by the way the dialogue runs and by the presentation, with the doubter presented palely and the other with words that are strongly defined against the background.

    thank you for the lovely review and for your attention to the details of my presentation. I wanted his words to stand strong while hers were weak,
