This is peacock ð?¦? Paradise. A rainbow of colors. Eye pleasing presentation. The words blend in like mixing oil colors and painting on canvas. This is art. (Strawberry Moon) is perfect! Deep in desire. Alliteration. Always appreciate the author notes. I like Japanese poetry. I was stationed in Japan. Compai means cheers. Hum, there's the blood moon and strawberry Moon. First time that I have heard of strawberry Moon. I read that it's in June. Beautiful sight!

Count your lucky stars!

Gezz, BOO Ghost can barely keep up with you guys! Yaw posting maniacs. That trophy glimmers, right?

I like how you help us meld a chocolate-covered strawberry with the strawberry moon casting romantic moods between lovers. I almost wish that it was "lover" instead of "man" but I know you worked hard to work those syllables just right.

    I had lover before I chose man. I made the change. It does sound better.

    Thank you very much for your exceptional review. You always know what I mean. I love you, big sister.

A very romantic poem. The flow is good. The presentation adds to the overall atmosphere. The last two lines tie it up well.

It is an interesting thought that chocolate can be bitter, bitter-sweet, milky-rich, or cloyingly sweet. Perhaps that makes the poem more realistic and less romantic.

Thanks for a good read.

This is another of your beautiful creations. I found the footnotes most interesting, especially about most Tanka poets being women. I enjoyed reading this lovey poem and look forward to your next one.

Whew! this is a steamy entry. It's beautifully written and presented. Looking for some chocolate covered love makes me think you are crossing the racial divided. LOL I must say I approve. Guess, I will be calling you Sistah Gypsy from now on. lol On a serious note, I love your poem and how you presented it.

Gypsy, what a beautiful and well written Tanka you have penned my friend. You used very good descriptive words and lovely imagery from the art work you chose. I enjoyed reading about Yosano Akiko and all she did. Thank you for sharing. love and blessings, Teri
