I like the idea of the waves flirting with us as we walk along the beach. That gives us a fun image. Your words and your artwork are great. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is a lovely Tanka - with carefully chosen words and a fitting illustration. It has a great rhythm like the waves, and the personification of the waves is excellent.

The combination of beautiful artwork and understated eroticism reminds me of Gungalo's poems - God rest her soul. Those flirtatious waves coming and going as they please create a lovely image in the mind.

I like your personification of the waves as being "flirtatious" and "caressing" the dancer's feet. Good use of alliteration and consonance throughout the poem with lovely illustration!

Hi Gypsy, your poem is filled with good imagery. I could see the whole scene. Of special note:

flirtatious waves
that come and go as they please
caressing my bare feet
(Nice)

Excellent photo choice. Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M
