Mysterious, indeed. Not knowing the preceding conversation we can only speculate, and that could be unjust. Sometimes though, enigma is everything in building a verse. Kenny

Comment from TAB_that's me
This is a very good poem written in the perfect tanka form. It leaves us wondering why and where he went. Maybe a sequel?

Thank you for your review. A sequel? You may have a good idea.

So sad for the girl. Sometimes our behaviour pushes someone away, even someone we are attracted too. You have chosen good artwork for the poem. Enjoyed reading it

Comment from CHIGYSISKI
Lovely poem. Says so much in such few words.I liked these lines best:
Confident even
Of course she is attractive
But he left so abruptly.
The accompanying picture is awesome!

That sudden fear of abandonment is portrayed brilliantly throughout this masterfully crafted piece you have delivered as well as the artwork above. God bless!

Just five lines and you succeeded in saying volumes! Love the picture. She is very attractive. You wrote this in such a way in which the reader can come to their own conclusion. I love it. Here's how I figure it. A married guy comes into the bar, sees her and temptation seeps in. Probably, not for too long because he knew his own weaknesses and therefore left abruptly, so he wouldn't go further than his thoughts were taking him. I'm proud of that man! What a fantastic writing!
Loved it!

I like your poetic interpretation of the painting - an insightful look at the bravado a person will put on in the face of potential humiliation and disappointment - Brooke

Almost enough to undermine a woman's confidence. "Of course she is attactive, But he left so abruptly." Great artwork choice. I enjoyed the easy pace and great flow. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from alexisleech
Your poem is short, but says a lot. One wonders if the image inspired the poem, or if it's the other way around. I'm sure many women will identify with this because many have endured the same baffling confusion. Much food for thought! Alexis x
