I like the picture. They appear to be deeply in love. They have a charming smile. Is this true love?

Your poem says, "True love is never what it seems." Is this true? I have seen people marry for fifty years. Is that rue love or not what it seems." A long lasting relationship requires mutual understanding and forgiveness.

We need love in this world. But what is love?

Thanks for sharing. Good luck to your contest.

Thanks, Seshadri. In your review, change the word "answer" to "way".

A thought provoking short poem. It made me smile - not so much at the humor but the honesty in those few lines.

Well done and good luck.

Well said and I can't help agree with you. Yes. True love can become stronger if it's tested over a long period of time and overcome many obstacles. The happiness of new love can't always promise it.

Well done.

This is so true!! A short poem says it all is a few special words that mean so much!! The title says, True love? Yes, and so much more!! What it means is that you will always have true love while sleeping alone and having a wonderful dream about someone you know!!
Or someone you don't know, who knows?
Take care,
Jesse

Love can be true and still not be the love you thought it was in the very beginning. The fairy tale, happily ever-after version of love is indeed, a fantasy, but it can still be true and can evolve into something better. Not always, though, and I guess that is your point. Good job.

Lovely image, and a lot said in your few words. Much disillusionment expressed - and sometimes that is best expressed in few words, and the reader must imagine the back story with its obvious distress. Well done.

Well said, my good writer. I agree that true love is never what it seems. It can manifest itself in different ways even in ought ways too. Then you would get up from the dream one day to realize that it was real. Thanks for writing and sharing.

This is an excellent entry for the short poem contest
with the nice addition of the rhyme.
Perhaps true love is true for some, but often reality sets in.
Nice picture to match.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.
