This is quite romantic in both parts. The pictures and colorful type enhance the poetry. I always appreciate the lessons you give us on poetry. I am learning a lot.

This is a beautiful suite of tanka poems. The romance is sensuous without being overt. I can imagine these words being recited in a medieval court by a couple.

Hi MariVal,
This is a good couple tanka. By the font color, I assume the first one is from the woman and the second is the man's reply.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful weekend
Joan

This is another absolutely beautiful poem and presentation. I enjoyed every letter in the poem. I could feel the yearning and the willingness to wait for this one love. BEAUTIFUL!

Another fine poem, Gypsy....full of flowery words that better captures the mood of the poem....so much more romantic than I would have written as a guy, "Let's Get It On!"

As always you always do a stellar job with this tanka form, and we are so fortunate that you are on this site to mentor, teach and to foster the "young" in Japanese poetry, well done, blessings Roy

You always do such a great job with these love poems! I liked how you structured this as a couple poem and each one wrote to the other. It's the way God meant for love to be - reciprocal and strong.

    I need some of God's love.

    I fixed and cleaned up my altar I bought a new Jesus Christ statute that lights up in different colors. I'll take a picture tomorrow. It's beautiful

    Thank you very much, big sister.

    Love,

    Marival

The word yearning always lends itself to longing and missing. Almost loneliness. One of my favorites with so many mental images.

Another perfectly played color-scheme my friend. I do so enjoy you!

I like your couple tanka suite, with a his/her response.

They are so enraptured with one another they speak in one language.

Beautiful presentation too.

Much enjoyed. :)
