Very well made and also very sad. To have to struggle to find within ones own lifetime of memories some pure and gentle that happened between yourself and another person, without the stain of pain. I can't imagine that torture.

A very moving entry.

Very well said. I am sure this is the feeling of all of us. How long since we have held a loved one in our arms and felt that life was good. We miss the human contact in this time of isolation.

-Good artwork for your poem, Jim.
-A good topic with description and rhyme.
-I like how the poem is divided with
the wistfulness in the first half as
you remember the way things were.
-The second part shows your
frustration, using the lion's roar
as a good symbol of the feelings
building up inside.
-Well done; good luck in the contest.

The big vast world is still there, but unfortunately at this time, it's out of reach. Our hearts yearn for the human contact; that sharing that warms our soul. Loneliness turns to anger because we must stay inside instead. Well written and I enjoyed your thoughts. Smiles to you!

This is a wonderful sentiment that we are all experiencing during this pandemic and you have succinctly mirrored it in this four-line Contest.
A very good entry. Good luck.

I had somewhat of an issue dealing with the context of "impelled." I am assuming that the lion is roaring its displeasure. If it means motivation to act, I guess you're seeking someone to hug...John

I can relate to this poem big time. I can only hug and kiss my husband and animals, I am use to hugging friends, patients and co- workers. Your words show a side to the pandemic that is hard. "Inside a lion roars" is a great line that shows feelings and emotions
Excellent poetic form and use of words.
