Without a doubt you are passionate! Maria Jose (Heather Knight) probably can relate to this poem and she's Spanish, too. I especially like "like a jealous burning sun midst a thousand dying stars" to show the passion and the undeniable distance. And despite the faded daisy's "loves me not" decision, the narrator takes comfort in having once been his other half.

    Technically, thanks is divided in two parts. The top describes an image ending with a dash. The bottom part uses poetic devices and brings it all together. I do write tanka that read like one sentence but you don't have to.

    Thank you very much for the excellent review. :) have a wonderful day.

This is a very passionate poem with its words and the red and hot color. The jealous brining sun is super hot and I can see it, even feel it. Yes you are his.

I wish I had a six.

Excellent.

How sad. Perhaps you were his in another life. Is it possible you deserve better in this one? Or perhaps your poem is all imagination. Either way, I enjoyed reading it.

I really liked the thought process in this. The narrator is torn between the want of a love and the fantasy of what she feels. She feels connected to the lover even if it was from another time and place. Gretchen
