That is a lovely metaphor, Sue...I'll remember that. Very succinctly put, with each word laden with meaning. I must ask you about the spelling of "essense"? Is that another Americanism? Good luck with the contest. :)

This is a lovely poem. Captured is the lesson that where there is darkness light always follows and with light comes hope. Extremely well done in just two lines.

I never tried one of these before, but always love to practice these very confining poems. Great for learning word choice in any form of poetry. Thank you for our very kind review. Sue

Ah, hope. The one thing we can always count on, especially after a loss. Love the implications and imagery in such a short poem. Thanks so much for sharing!

Comment from Gypsymooncat
I thought this was a very grandly poetic two lines, speaking a great truth and offering comfort to those who have experienced loss. You have adhered to the contest requirements with the internal and ending rhymes also, which should put it very strongly in the running or I'm a monkey's uncle ... aunty...!? Best of luck to you! xoxoxoxoxoxxoxo

A beautiful sentiment my friend. There is always hope in the greatest of darkness, we just need to believe and trust. Thanks for sharing this with us -- my review is longer than the actual write (LOL). Have a good night.

Yeah! With these small poems, the reviewer doesn't have too much to comment on! HA! But thank you for your very generous review. Always appreciated, Sue :-))

Perfect!
Love the metaphor for hope:
A bridge for lives to cross
Good job!
It took me far too many words to express my review sentiment. We should lobby for a pithy short form of Haiku, essence, et.al.

I wrote a bunch of senryu last year and I know how difficult it is to write something meaningful in few words. Well done!

Yes, it sure takes a lot of practice with haiku/senryu. Taught me a lot about BREVITY!! Thanks so much for your great review, Fred....Sue :-))

I postd 100 senryu last year. It does teach one how to be concise.
-
"Concise" is the word. 100??? WOW! You should be king of haiku by now! Ha!
Comment from Amfunny
Nicely done. It is hard to say a lot when there are only a few words. But you did a nice job with this and managed to speak volumes in just a few. Colorful artwork too.

I do love to practice brevity. One can say a lot in so few words. Your review is very much appreciated. With regards, Sue :-)
