Near or far. 1 foot or a 100 feet. Love is love. I am eternal optimist. I believe that love will find a way!
Loved this piece by you- and enjoyed the added impact with the photo.

This is a fine thought for the Senryu Poetry writing prompt entry. Sometime short thoughts can really hit the spot, touch our heart, and even be encouraging. Well done!

Hello anonymous

A Relevant entry for the
Senryu Poetry writing prompt contest. I'm tired of the pandemic but we must follow the scientist advice to beat the covid19 virus.

Good syllable count and connection between lines. Good luck in the contest.

This senryu, From a Distance, presented as a 5-7-5, makes its point by noting that any distance can be seen as too far to be tolerated.

Present requirements for "social distancing" may lead us in a probably colder society, with feelings just to be shown at a given distance. Your poem reflects that new social relationships will have consequences in expressing love, as kisses cannot be given with masks...
Picture was definitively a great choice!

A very well-written Senryu about lovers who still love each other despite the social distancing rules they find other ways to communicate their feelings to one another.

Good write and an excellent illustration to go with it. It just goes to prove that life and love go on even in the midst of a pandemic. Nice job.

This is an excellent senryu for the contest
with a topical theme many will relate to.
Nice use of the expression, "at arm's length."
Good choice of art work too.
Nicely done.
Good luck in the contest.
