This beautiful poem made me think about one thing. No matter what we experience or what we face, life goes on. And we either keep going or die. Life is a series of events. Good, bad, happy or sad. But all we can do is hold on. Gretchen

Comment from RJ Heritage
Although I haven't had much experience with Tanka, I love the deep and often introspective verses it presents. Whether of love or loss, the genre exposes a measure of vulnerability that we all feel. Here it is no different, it is imaginative, delicate, and well executed, and the motif compliments the theme very well.

Comment from Baltimore Born
This is a well-crafted poem. The poem reads and flows well. Good creativity with your words in this poem. Your poem paints a good mental picture especially with your last two lines. Nice accentuating picture. Nice poem.

I enjoy Tanka's also. I was explaining the difference between a contest 5-7-5 poem and a Standard haiku
to a new friend. Boy! have I learned a lot here. Mostly due to you. Thanks. Karen

I'm glad you like haiku too and know the difference between a 5-7-5 Poem and haiku.
Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.
