well, that's a good poem.
If it is true, I'm sorry that life has not treated you well, but am glad you have someone to love.
And I wish you a good result in the contest.

Very nice indeed. It doesn't matter what the past is as long as we find the one that is compatible and makes us happy (and vice versa) today. We all want someone whose heart is true. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

You did a nice job with this love poem message :) You definitely wrote about love. I like the little pop of red among the black and white picture. It's like the love showing up the rough edges. Best wishes in the contest.

Hi, Joy... yes, I wanted to show the sharp contrast between rough edges and a vivid and exciting heart.

Thank you.

That's the best kind of love that endures and stays true through all the "rough edges" of life. Great definition of true love in your tanka poem. Best wishes in the contest!

Life has its ups and down, and we cant predict how things will turn out for one and all. All we can do is try our best to find a good person to love us.
