A superb review - I like that word 'truthfulness' zanya
Comment from Bill Schott
This 3-5-3 about love, Love's Embers, has the apt metaphor for love revealing that even when unattended, the fires of emotion do not go cold for a long time. Nice.

Comment from mvbrooks
Congratulations on your win. From the clear message and the simple--yet emotion-provoking words, this is a strong entry. One can imagine the soft warmth emanating from the embers and the memory of the strong fire that once burned. Well Done in a few words.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 3-5-3 poem. A love go wrong cannot be forgotten over night
The heart still smoldering after the spark is gone.
Prosperous New Year to you and your family.

This 3-5-3 senryu poem had me thinking, "Yep!" Because it is so true. I love how there is a little bit of rhyme between "long" and "gone." Though I have never written a senryu , I enjoyed reading yours.

Oooohhh... I like this one, Mystery Poet. I was thinking how hard it was going to be to impress me with a 3/5/3 format. Yours was the first up and - pow! Great job! Good luck!

Wow this is indeed an accolade for this poem - thanks for reading zanya
Comment from WalkerMan
There are two equally plausible interpretations for this pithy verse. First, a torrid short-term relationship can yield lingering fond memories. Second, in a truly loving long-term relationship, though the initial passion may cool over the years, a warm glow endures within each partner to sustain the couple into old age. Well done, and nicely illustrated.

I hope you have a very Happy New Year's,,,,,,,,,Jim
