Hoe true! Your poem reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel song "A Bridge Over Trouble Waters" I could hear it play behind your short POEM.

Nicely Done

Of all the poetry styles and contests, this seems to be the hardest. You did a great job. It left me with hope. Given that there was loss involved, this could have become a real downer. But you nailed it, especially with the picture and your smiling face in the bio. With all that, you conveyed a real feeling of "it's gonna be ok, honestly" :)

A little too short for my tastes.. not that I think good poetry has to be long by any means... this seems a little "chinese fortune cookie-ish".. no offense... just my take -jarls

Girl, off all the poets on this site - I learn more from you than anyone. This time a new way of writing - with an 'internal' rhyme.

Well done, and thank you for the lesson.

Sincerely,
womanwriter

When something has been
very sad within one's life.
There can be a bridge to cross.
that God gives to us to cross.
"Hope arrives after loss
A bridge for lives to cross"

Brilliant words and full of hope to cross that bridge.

This is a sweet little Essence poem, Sue. You said a lot in just those few allowed syllables. Good luck in the contest.

It is a very unique idea that our lives are connected by metaphysical bridges. Very good flow of words making for an easy read. There is good imagery and descriptive scheme.

So much can be said even in such a short space. The personification of Hope makes the poem a very personal one. The metaphor in the second line is original and very appropriate for the message.
