Congratulations! This is a most deserving win.
This love poem expresses what many may feel when
they let go and let love in.
It flows so easily and reflects what I know in my
heart to be true love. You took a chance and loved and
lived. Absolutely stunning.
Best of luck always.
Marie

Beautiful! A worthy winner. I love the simplicity of the ideas, the unadorned focus of the message. I love how you wrote:"Afraid of love and life", and ended with:"Took a chance and loved. Took a chance and lived." Congratulations on a good win.

This poem is love like a light leading out of a tunnel as illustrated in the artwork. I am not sure I like the black and white presentation.

Your poem is lyrical and compelling, taking the reader from despair to joy with very few words.

The only comment I could make would be to poetic devices that really show the reader how you felt rather than just telling what emotions you felt.

Your sweet poem effectively states the range of powers love has: When it becomes a one-way street, it can break and dehumanize us; as a two-way street, it makes life worth living.
