I really like this poem about love. It's very moving and brought the love to a brand new level. It's an amazing Haiku. I'm not surprised that you won.

Exceptionally done.

Congratulation on winning the senryu competition Gypsy Blue Rose.

It expresses a lot of empathy for the very many who have lost loved ones during this hideous epidemic. A worthy winner.
Take care, Pete

Wow, Girl you really tugged a lot of heartstrings. Where in the world did you get that picture. I hope they survived for each other. Is there a follow up on the story. True love.

    Hello, Becky, I had a picture in mind and I googled until I found what I wanted. This couple resonated with me and there the poem unfolded. The couples must be doing fine, I can't find anything in the internet that contradicts that. Thank you very much for the six stars, the exceptional review, and the kind words. I am glad you like it. :)

    I have an entry After Covid, just very factual, not heart warming.

This is a very touching poem. Love the words because this is apparently what lots are going through these days. To look at someone lying with a ventilator attached and want to give some affection to them, is very difficult. Thank God they got to hold hands.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the true love of an old couple who went through the corona crisis together and still show their love is strong and will last an eternity.

We think of love stories in terms of young people, depicted in romantic settings. This is an excellent love story, because it shows the truth. Old people suffering, and in difficult conditions, but still as much in love as ever. It's great!

This brought tears to my eyes. After so many years of being together and looking after each other, here they are doing the same in the direst of circumstances. Yes, this is the love one wants. Good wishes for the contest.

What a touching presentation this is for the contest. i do hope they both survived. Really good writing and it has great depth in very few words. Nicely done.

I loved this and voted for you. It is unfortunately a timely topic - one suggestion - on the second line - I kept wanting a subject, but that would put it over 7 syllables - maybe - "soft whispering - "I love you""? That's just a suggestion, I really did think yours was the best. Well done!

    Hello, David, thank you for your vote and excellent review! I really appreciate it. I am trained as haikuist so I am used to dealing with lines without a subject or gerund verbs but you give me something to think about :) thank you.
