I love the title, "Touch." The artwork is an excellent choice, with the hand in black and white, and with the bright red heart, held onto the finger with a chain. Your first line is my favorite. "You saw my darkness" is almost whispered, to a personal love, and sets the tone for the rest of the piece. You say a lot in a 5-7-5 poem. This is well written and is very romantic. Thank you for sharing.
Take care, Jesse

    Hi Trisha
    There are some bumps on the road, but I'm still rolling along. Thanks for asking. I hope you are well, also.

    It?s taken me a long time to expunge my narcissistic husband?s damage. Writing poetry has enabled me to get a view of the real me instead of the aweful person he had me almost believing. Keep believing you are NOT the negatives you were abused by.

    Good for you, Trisha! You are a shining example of how to not let the abusers win by taking my belief in myself away. Thank you for your advice! I will keep believing, as you say.

    You are unique and worthy of love. It?s a mistake to look for our acceptance and validation from others. That only causes confusion , look INWAR first
    By the way, I admire your openness in your poetry.

    That mistake has caused me a lifetime of grief. Your advice is sound. Looking inward is the way.
    Open is the only way I've ever written poetry. It is one of my strengths.

    It?s like we have to give ourselves the permission to be ourselves first. Then any validation from outside of our real self is bonus.

    Yes. I see what you mean. Thanks for all the great advice.

Hello Bucketlist :)
I really enjoy your 5-7-5 poem.
There is nothing more healing than the touch of a loving and familiar hand.
Beautiful presentation.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the ability and power of the right person in our lives that can instantly take away our emotional pain with their tender and carring touch of our hearts.

Wow - there is a lot written in those words but even more, I suspect, that is lurking behind and winding around them -- just a lovely 5-7-5 brimming with emotion, Trisha! :) Great composition! :) Yvette :)

This is a fine example of a haiku and its progression and development of ideas.
It establishes a situation and expands on it and resolves it. The language flows and
is very gentle. Lovely.
