This work has reached the exceptional level

I would say your work is unbelievable but I know it to not be true. It is beyond the side of doubt and disbelief for all to see, yet choose to close their soul eyes.

You are truly gifted.

Now, I am interested in Tanka.

Thanks, for another view... Yard.

    Tanka is a beatiful poetic form. It originated in Japan's Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tankas in appreciation of a night of lovemaking...very passionate Poetry. But modern tanka is about anything you can imaging. I prefer the classic tanka. I'm from Spain. We are very passionate people... and a bit dramatic. LoL I passed that on to my children and grandchildren. My grandson. Atticus. Is only 5 and he is already showing the signs lol

    I hope you try it. Let me know if I can help. I teach Japanese poetry.


    Thank you very much. Yard. The second exceptional six stars review in one night... you're spoiling me. :)

This tanka, Out of the Darkness, has the proper formatting and and seems to present the resurfacing soul who returns from trauma with a stronger and more resilient skin.

Yet more Gypsy magic sprinkled on these words. The fears of the first part are soothed by nature's touch in the second. And the tall grass becomes a fortress. Beautiful.

    I hope you're enjoying July 4, if that's where you are. Nearly midnight here and soon to bed. X

I like the way your verse evolves out of the darkness and into the glow of the moonlight with sensual imagery in between. Your verses always delight the senses. Thanks for sharing Debbie

You always write these short forms as if they are full of inspired information, and much longer, because you've cornered the ability to write much with little, beautiful written Gypsy, blessings Roy
