Hi Mark, This is a wonderfully expressed short poem designed to get the reader thinking, it is beautifully composed and suits the picture perfectly, I wouldn't mind betting that you have had lot's of conflicting reviews as to why he left, that my friend, is a mark of good poetry.

Wow! You captured the essence of being blown off and away by another person . . the photo added to the word content perfectly. Poems that say it all in minimal words are difficult to write and a joy to read when they turn out right. Nice job on this one!

"Suddenly alone
She still tries to look relaxed
Confident even
Of course she is attractive
But he left so abruptly."
can you trust your instincts and feel that you're beautiful in looks and soul? even if the partner leaves suddenly?
thank you for sharing!

To Mark Schardine,
In this Tanka poem you address a lost or empty woman, who seems to be overcome by the stand up guy that shows his arrogance by paying her no mind leaving her agape as what to do next.

Sometimes we try to remain cool and collective under extreme circumstances. But then again she might have been the one who ended the relationship. Now she is feeling in charge of her life.

Hi, Mark,
Reader interpretation is cool. A woman sitting at a bar alone. One can make up all kinds of reasons why he left so abruptly.
Then again, she may not be alone for long. She's a real looker.
Fun read. Good job.
Cheers & Blessings

This poem describes a situation many people may have experienced at least once in their lives. Even if not from a lover or companion, from a friend following conflict. Stunned, we naturally try to save face by playing it cool.

Someone must have tipped him off that his wife was on her way over! I wonder if you wrote the poem to fit the artwork, or just found the perfect piece to complement it? It's very engaging either way.

Sometimes loneliness cannot be recognized, or the facade will crumble. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Yeah, but attractiveness is not everything. As a wise man once said, no matter how pretty a woman is, a guy somewhere is sick and tired of her crap. And the same goes for men. No matter how handsome...
