Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written contemporary Tanka prose about the family roots that are always strong. The things we learned from our parents will stay with us till we die and we teach our children the same values.

This is so pretty! I love Lily of the Valley. Avon used to make a light perfume, but no longer. I need to google to see if ANYONE does! I love the way you combined prose and Tanka. The prose set up the poem and that is really nice as Tanka doesn't always tell us the whole story and leaves us wondering. So much nicer this way rather than in the author notes. Great job. Lovely!

Comment from Bill Schott
This tanka prose, Roots, reminds me of the haibun, and contracts the captured moments in the generational garden from the expressed prose to the condensed poem. Nice.

Comment from Heather Knight
This is gorgeous. I like the 'suspended in a time warp' bit.
Lily of the valley is one of the most beautiful flowers there are in my opinion.
Thanks so much for sharing and good luck in the contest.

This is a very beautiful story and poem. The scent of the Lily-of-the-Vally is my favorite. I have many fond memories myself of these precious little flowers at my grandmother's house. Thanks for sharing this :)

You have mastered a very difficult style. There are new styles introduced every day. It's too many for me to keep up with. You seem to make it look easy. Good luck in the contest.
