There's one thing I know about God, He always thinks of us as children, and no one can convince me we're anything but, despite the evidence of the eyes, saying we are old. In the light of eternity, we're not, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you very much for your review.
Comment from Debra White
Hello :)
I love your senryu.
The stars and craters tie together beautifully, the 'b' alliteration is effective, the imagery is tangible and the presentation is gorgeous too -The infinity symbol is a lovely touch.
After twenty one years together when my husband looks at me (sometimes!) his eyes still have that sparkle in them that says 'I see you, girl!' Long may that sparkle last... :)
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra

-Good artwork and
nice presentation.
-A well written senyru
with a good topic and imagery.
-I like the comparisons with
the craters and the "brilliant
blue stars" to the woman's features.
-A very good closing line, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Stacy Aaron
Beautiful - I immediately connected, understood the words. It's strong enough that it works even without the picture. If fact, a bit more intriguing as a stand alone perhaps as the reader can create their own picture (although I get the sense people on this site like the use of visuals in general). Good luck in the contest.

Thank you very much for the kind words and excellent review.
I wrote it without a picture, I had an image in my mind. The site does prefer poems with pictures.
Comment from Leann DS
What a lovely thought you expressed and this short poem! I love it. I'm so distracted by the words, I did not even check the syllable count, but I'm just going to guess that it's correct. :-) Thank you for sharing. Hugs and blessings.
PS I thought to myself... Self, that wasn't very helpful, so go back and check the syllable count. I did. It's perfect. :-)

The syllable count is 17 syllables in 5/7/5 ... brilliant counts as 2
Thank you very much for the kind words and excellent review.
Comment from Susan Newell
As usually, a brilliantly written expression of how once someone loves another, they will forever see them at their most beautiful state, when the outside matches the inside.
