looking through
blurry, circular depth
of a peephole.
your shining face
slightly distorted
waiting.
brown door opening
removing your face
from the awkward tunnel
placing it instead
into my bright world.

This is a breathtaking poem
I love the simplicity of the wording that opens such a depth of feeling beautifully done and very much enjoyed!
Keep writing

This poem is written from an interesting perspective, curiosity is shared by us all. Good progression from the distance to the immediate vicinity, it is like a camera shot that starts with a long distant view and slowly brings the main subject in real close. Very nice!

Simply stated; happy to finally see this person, not just through the peep hole, but in person. Easy to read and understand what is being said in these lines.

I love the simplicity and novelty of the idea. The ending was lovely and I enjoyed the journey, however short it was. Cheers

When you focus on something that means somthing to you, it easily comes into your view. Great work! Great imagery, and a short and sweet piece!
Love & light

I like the imagery you've used here. It's natural, when viewing the world fearfully through a hole, that the faces of others are distorted. The message of your piece is very well communicated.

Wow!
This is great!
So wonderfully descriptive & visual. I could really see this & it's such fun! 
Seeing a familiar friend's face & welcoming them into your life! This just made me feel very warm & in anticipation of a friend 'home health aide' who'll be returning after 7 weeks of disability leave! Yippee! Sure you'll do well in this contest! Original approach...
