Beautiful exotic artwork that is fittingly represented in your creative tanka. Both expand the reader's imagination. You have a real talent for doing this, MariVal. I have a question. I associate northern wind with the cold of winter and this is a poem of spring. So is there a message here that I haven't picked up?

Blessings, Cheryl

    Thank you very much, Cheryl. You are right about the wind, I charged it.

Very striking images are conjured up here in this quasi-mystical tanka. It evokes color and motion and E-motions, too in a most mesmerizing of ways. And again - so sorry to be repetitive about this with every review I write, but it factors in in such a big way, I cannot exclude it - the artwork is exquisite. Another gorgeous job by the master of the Japanese Poetry art form!! Thank you for this special offering! xo

    No, Gypsy; it's YOU who are fabulous...which is why I love going through your older poems, too. They're all works of art!!

Should create a book out of these beautiful works. Just saying!
I would imagine your work has been reviewed by many, and rightfully so.
God bless,
Steve

    I have two published books and many books in progress in fanstory. I just don't have the time.

    Thank you very much, Steve.

    Yeah! Time is something most of us lack. I work 12-plus hours a day.

Sounds like a dreamlike heroine - or a fantasy character or the personification of nature or of summer. Lovely presentation with all the vibrant colors!
Praying for Atticus!

    Thank you, big sister, Atticus is doing better. Kids are so resilient.

    The poem can be about any of the ones you mentioned. Thank you very much, big sister.

    Love,

    Marival ❤️

    That is a long time for a little one to be sick! It's usually a 24 hour flu. But I guess that one was a more virulent bug. Hope they all get to enjoy the rest of their vacation! 💞🙏💖

    I think is a virus because we all had it but he had it worse, probably because he is little. He is feeling good today but nights get worse, we'll see tonight.

    Thank you for checking.

    Love,

    Marival ❤️

I love the image of this beautiful lady with her tousled black hair blending with her floral gown into the field of dreams as though they become as one. Beautifully presented with the test colours picking up the hues of the meadow. Well done, Gypsy. Take care Debbie

You always manage to paint a great picture with words, art takes many forms, and you've mastered the art of words so well, particularly with the short forms, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy

When I hear the term 'Field of Dreams', I immediately think of the baseball movie starring Kevin Costner. Not the same as this field of dreams, but both had dreams. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem and artwork with us.

    Yes, other reviewers thought about that movie too but the poem is not based on the movie. I love Kevin Costner, even in his sixties he is sexy. :)

    Thank you very much, Barbara
