Hi Wendy.
This cinquain poem seems to be ekphrastic. It matches the artwork so well. It shows how mad he is that he doesn't move close to her to share the umbrella also his love that he wants to keep her while sacrifices his
dryness.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.

Comment from Jim Wile
This was great, Wendy. Too true too. (Uh-oh, sorry!)
We do bicker from time to time, but we still love and care for each other in the important ways. A little bickering will never harm a good marriage that has a firm base of love and respect. If people never bicker, it's probably because one always gives in to the other, but that's not healthy. It's often important to stand your ground, and it can be beneficial in the long run as long as it's honest and not petty.

Yes, in the real world, I don't think any marriage is perfect ALL the time. But that's how we learn and grow too. I agree with you. Each person needs to have the freedom and confidence to express their thoughts and not just give in to keep the peace. Thank you for this thoughtful review.

Comment from gansach
This Cinquain poem has an attractive presentation, the artwork is a perfect illustration. And it speaks one of life's truths~nothing is perfect all the time; couples disagree, get upset or angry or hurt, but-if the love is true and strong-they will work through it because they honestly care deeply for each other. Great job!

I really liked this piece and how you portrayed reality with your writing. I think holding out an umbrella for someone is a simple act of kindness and it can definitely begin to heal broken relationships. An excellent piece of writing. Good luck in the contest.

This is the absolute truth, my friend. We all bicker and say things we don't mean. But love conquers all, and we protect those we love. Thank you for sharing.
God bless,

Comment from SimianSavant
Well styled. If there is one thing I would change: crop the image to get rid of the text on the top and the border on the bottom. Less is more, and your poem ought to be providing the alternate words instead of competing with the ones still attached to the image.
Thanks for the read,

love this short cinquain poem about the power of simple actions like sharing an umbrella to show one's love even when one is angry at the other person

Wendy,
A sweet cinquain poem about love.
The photo brings a smile. Isn't this true about all good relationships?
When we love someone and cross them, don't we still hope for that umbrella of protection?
And sometimes we begrudgingly give it.
Great sentiment, Wendy!
Best wishes,
Cindy

Thanks so much Dolly. I sometimes wonder if poems celebrating perfect bliss in relationships are realistic. I am glad you liked this one.
