One of the finest one line poems I think I've ever read, Gershon [perhaps because I have learned the long and hard way the truth that all love, as all life, comes from God]-- congrats on your win, my friend!

- Beautifully said in one line, Gershon :) - We all deserve to experience true love, which makes us happy :) - Love sometimes hurts, but it never causes harm intentionally :) - In other words, to love someone good you must love yourself and be prepared for everything :) - Congratulations on your winning poem ... we all hunt for love :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Thank YOU, Bobby, for your generous assessment of this one-liner, and for the opportunity you gave me and all of us on the Soup to 'go for it!' Best wishes, Gershon

You know, I just re-read this and it's a bit too 'Calvinistic,' methinks. Perhaps I'll juice it up a bit. Thanks for the feedback, Carolyn. :) gw
