Excellent

Your well-written, thoughtful poem conveys a moving message about the perseverance of real love during difficult times--like present day, when Covid has placed limits on closeness.

So many people have been affected by the pandemic and it has broken up relationships and thwarted romance, stopped weddings from taking place and neutralised kisses, I wish it was all over. Your poem is poignant and truthful here Zanya, love Dolly x

Well done and presented with a good message. Is it not love that keeps all of our hearts young? You have answered it well here. I guess it's the enduring of all those ups and downs and trials of lonely feelings of abandonment that creeps in to steal the youth of our hearts. But, yes, steadfast, as in most things is the key. Stay calm and carry on. Loren

I like your use of the repeated lines with the first use of "Young hearts" as the subject and the last use as the object of "heals." Even though there are heartaches in love, ultimately, they are healed. Best wishes in the contest!

A very well-written rictameter about young love that cannot evolve naturally during the lockdown conditions and the lovers only contact us digitally.
