This beautiful poem made me think about one thing. No matter what we experience or what we face, life goes on. And we either keep going or die. Life is a series of events. Good, bad, happy or sad. But all we can do is hold on. Gretchen

This work has reached the exceptional level

Although I haven't had much experience with Tanka, I love the deep and often introspective verses it presents. Whether of love or loss, the genre exposes a measure of vulnerability that we all feel. Here it is no different, it is imaginative, delicate, and well executed, and the motif compliments the theme very well.

This is a well-crafted poem. The poem reads and flows well. Good creativity with your words in this poem. Your poem paints a good mental picture especially with your last two lines. Nice accentuating picture. Nice poem.

I enjoy Tanka's also. I was explaining the difference between a contest 5-7-5 poem and a Standard haiku
to a new friend. Boy! have I learned a lot here. Mostly due to you. Thanks. Karen

    I'm glad you like haiku too and know the difference between a 5-7-5 Poem and haiku.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.
