    Nice thought......

    perhaps someone should organise a world-wide love-in with Mr b Ladin!

    I love the simplicity of this-it really depicts what love should be and has a really innocent feel to it. I also thought the the choice of making "what hate gains" as very definite-whereas leaving "love can tame" as ambiguous gave a different slant here too. Very clever and insightful write for such a very short poem. Well done, and good luck in your contests

    Within a small amount of words, you have painted that love can overcome hate. Best of luck to you with this in the contest held by Ted E. Bare.

    I truly like this. Just goes to demonstrate that good over evil can happen just like love can conquer hate. I want to thank you for your entry into the following contest: "To Be Put On My Favorites List."

    So short!

    And I pray for brevity, though I seem to be losing the touch myself. Would it have been better simply to have said 'What hate gains, love tames' ?, even if less accurate?

    Neat nano- fragment

  • Short, Short, short.
    But good.
    Thanks for entering.

    maybe....... you promise?

  • Its a very powerful 6 words. If I had started a 6-word-poem contest, you would be that winner of gold, no doubt
