It is a sad, but hopeful poem tgat brings me ti thoughts of one dealing with cancer. This can be a very difficult period of time in a person's. Have seen my share of reality that such a a thing brings. I have also witnessed the hope and joy of seeing it defeated.
Great way of expressing about this topic.

AMEN!!!!! I am guessing cancer treatment and yes, watching a full moon does help. I know from experience. Thank you for sharing this emotional poem and presentation with us.

Beautifully written and presented as always.
A delicate subject is portrayed with elegance and dignity.
The imagery in both word and pictures complement each other perfectly.

This tanka, Blue Moon, has the proper formatting and speaks to some suppressive happening, perhaps, which has either occurred or been alluded to here.

This is another beautifully crafted piece, Gypsy. It's captivating from top to bottom. I love moonlit surf. They're relaxing. Thank you for sharing your artistry, my friend.
God bless,
Steve

I wonder why the locks of hair are falling - did she go in? cut her hair?
I liked the lovely illustration and the "waves of pain" because often pain comes in waves. I liked the "creek of hope" best because even with an ocean of problems, just small creek of hope will help us.

    She has cancer, I guess it's too obscure 😔 if you don't get nobody can. I'll see what I can do.

    Thank you very much, big sister.

    Ah. When I lost my hair due to chemo, it was more like it just fell off like a tree losing its leaves. I guess I think of "lock" as a snip of hair that people kept as souvenir.
    I thought you were referring to maybe the lock that a ship goes through at first...with all the water imagery.

    I like you edit!
    I wonder if this would make it clearer:
    "as her hair falls out
    into a stream of hope"

    Anyway, I visualized the falling hair becoming a stream and because the chemo is working there is hope.

    Oh no! Did anything fall?
    Atticus is asleep now, isn't he?
    Hope you all are safe!

What an excellent play on words that tends to bend the emotions to explore the mysterious and abstractions that fill the imagination of the reader, well done Gypsy, well done, blessings Roy
