Comment from Mark D. R.
Diana,
This is a very romantic verse you shared with us. The artwork and clip just add to its overall presentation.
Like your contrast between close and far away for their relationship.
Since you added a period at the end, consider capitalizing 'we.' Otherwise IMHO, the period becomes unnecessary.

Comment from Drew Delaney
What a gorgeous picture you've added. The tone of the poem seems depressing in a sense. Our choice of whom we love sometimes bring us more heartache than it's worth. This felt deep.

Thanks Ricky, this was a tough one for me. Sadly, i got a 2 star initially from a "new member", so i revamped it a bit. My first "2" ever! Ugh LOL! appreciate your supportive review! xoxo

This poem says much in just a few words. You are telling what love is and how distant it can become if you don't communicate. Your image is breathtaking.

Comment from Bicpen
It is to myopic with a twist or even a mere second thought it could prevail in a champion of the sport but unfortunately it is reduced to mere face value and is quite a down grade not releasing the full potential of the first initial two lines with a poor conclusion and poor imagination. The syllable count is correct and though difficult at times to consume such wisdom in such short and announcement it can be done just needs to be clearly thought through and delivered in a good and wholesome charm. This one is a worthy winner of any competition.

I think I understand what you're saying - perhaps it's because humans have such varying moods and even with our loved ones, we can feel very close or very far. Interesting music, too. Best wishes in the contest!

The picture shows a couple close but overplayed with separation. It was hard to interpret with the right words. Thank you for your stars and feedback! xoxo
Comment from JP Writer
I'm sorry not to feel inspired to assign this more stars, but it just doesn't work for me. I understand the limitations of a 15-word poetry prompt, but for me to buy into your premise that the closer we move toward love the farther we become, I need some reason. What keeps them apart as they draw closer: Egos? The stress of daily life? Something else? Also, consider using stronger verbs than "move" and "become." Vibrant verbs can do a lot of heavy lifting with very few syllables!

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate your point of view. I will look this over and see how I could improve it! it was actual meant to express the picture with the double exposure of close and far. xoxo

I wish I could assign you six stars for so graciously receiving my critique, which must sting. But your attitude and willingness to rethink your piece will serve you well as your writing evolves. That's worked for me, especially during my decades as a journalist with very tough editors, most of whom were not gentle, but did teach me valuable tools and lessons. Write on!
-
Believe me, I totally understood what you meant and no sting! :) I think it is much better now and describes the emotions in the picture better! Humbly appreciated!
-
Yes, much better! Not quite profound, but certainly better. Keep writing!!!
-
LoL! Thank you! If you have a chance, you may like to read some others I have done which are much more profound. I?ve done 88 poems just since the year started, so I guess being profound Is a little lacking tonight! :). xoxo
-
I will certainly check out more of your work... it's late tonight, but I'm making a note to do so tomorrow. I'm impressed that you've posted so many poems. And also, I'm truly honored you have become a follower!

Thank you. I appreciate! xoxo
