Comment from MissMerri
Such a sad, sad poem. My family once had a house on the edge of a lake, and when my parents finally sold it, I was so sad. This poem reminds me of that. I think this is a perfect Tanka, full of emotion and also vivid scenes created by your precise words. Good luck in the contest. I think this will be among the winners.

Thank you, MissMerri, it means a lot coming from you. I was going to go into author's notes about tanka and pivot lines, but that just seems to fall on deaf ears these days. Thank you for all the kind words. Cottages have always been an interest of mine, as I come from Michigan and we spent a better time of our young lives in lake cottages.
