Hello Diana. A 15 word poem is tough to tell a story. You state the action in the first line and the next two lines describe the result of the action and the last two lines resolve the conflict. Robert

Beautiful in the gentle simplicity of it. So very true of real life and laid out with flowing poetic perfection. The overall look and sound of it is wonderful and should not be altered in any fashion. Good luck with this!

Hello Diana, a short but meaningful love poem entry o the contest. Good use of the word scathed. Good use of metaphor in 'my tarnished emotions.' Well written an tastefully displayed. Good Luck - regards Dorothy x

Your ultra-concise poem movingly conveys its sweet theme--the great power of a hug. It is amazing that a hug is so profoundly healing; some-
times words aren't needed.

    That is so true. A hug can draw out all negative emotions and bring relief for the one hugging as well as receiving. Actually one really can?t tell who is giving and who is receiving because its a simultaneous gesture :). Thank you so much for your beautiful comment!

Yes not easy to find a real and lasting 'cure' for the excruciating pain of a broken heart - however, if we are lucky to trip over love again that may heal the pain 'tender embrace'

It's so amazing how therapeutic a hug or tender embrace is. It can make a catastrophic moment less catastrophic. I think it's an all is well with my world again kind of therapy. This is really good and I enjoyed reading this well written offering. Well done.

    Thank you very much for appreciating and leaving your awesome comment! A lot of times people finally meet someone after they?ve been damaged by someone else and that new love just changes everything!

This is a beautiful presentation... a lovely combination of that tender painting and your evocative words that show the comfort of love when our beloved has the ability to soothe and calm our damage.

    Thank you so much! It is the lucky person that meet someone in the beginning of their life and share the love with them throughout life. Most people though go through what they called their first love and then when they meet someone else that?s exactly what that love is doing for them - healing them! I really appreciate your comment very much!

    It is very special to find love, whether it is first love that lasts forever, or with someone else later. I miss it. I do not have a partner now to love and be loved by.

    I know exactly where you?re coming from! I have been in a couple of relationships that I thought were all this but unfortunately it wasn?t. But those loves did help me grow and learn to love deeper.

It's a great thing when your mate is a "healer" of your sorrows, your "tarnished emotions". Such a mate must be nurtured and appreciated to the max. it's a back and forth - or should be.
Nice poem

Another great love poem. Tenderness and gentle touch can help heal even the deepest wounds. I love the image you chose and how you presented your poem. Good luck in the contest. :)
