Ooo, what nice imagery. Jagged edges that fit together perfectly. It gives a sense of freedom and belonging in the same space. That first line gives it a nostalgic feeling--something that once was and is fondly remembered.

Comment from LaRosa
Wish I had the sixes you deserve today. You give us so much to think about in the remember-when opening. We don't think of the perfectly matched beginnings of relationships as being irregular at all. We tend to see the jagged edges results of later rifts. Yet in hind-sight, this writer can see the imperfections as having fit like a zipper and lasted and functioned well over the years. I really like the whole concept. You made me think!

yes a powerful statement metaphorically made here in this 3 line poem-shorter format can often deliver succinctly - and no visual necessary - thanks for sharing

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is a profound poem, that I can stare at thinking about for hours. Given its short length this is an unexpected turn of events. I presume that the last two lines describe a thoroughly satisfactory and stable love affair. So what went wrong (announced up front that it was a past event)? I ponder over death, or failure of the relationship. I take the unlimited possibilities to bed with me.

If you want to say something, these little pieces can be tricky propositions. Many thanks G
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is well written and deeply profound. "jagged edges yet perfectly matched" says so much about how our diversity used to be a plus, and now, no matter how straight the lines are, we fight and squabble amongst ourselves. Jagged edges do not need to divide...we can again match perfectly if we so choose. The stark presentation without any picture suits the topic well. The black background with white letters centered works nicely for this piece. Of course, there are a lot of ways one can interpret this 3 Line Poem. My choice is my perspective. By writing this, you have encouraged me to think creatively, and I thank you.
Take care, Jesse

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. It does make me pause and reflect on the meaning. I would say that many married couples would feel that way. The beginning is bliss but does have many jagged edges. I wish you the best of luck.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Gareth, this is a perfect way of describing a relationship that thrives on the conflicts two people living close can create. So much said and so much implied in those few words. I liked it. Good luck in the contest. Ulla:))

I admired your capturing a reflection from the past, which on its face seems contradictory, but they do say opposites attract! Best wishes in the 3-Line Poetry Contest- Joan
