I liked "with an eerie sound of bleakness" as it's usually not a sound that I can really hear but when the wind blows mournfully, I can imagine it as a "bleak" sound.

Yes, Japanese poetry is imagistic and sometimes it uses personification.
Thank you very much, big sister. I hope you had a great weekend. I'm sick with stomack flu ... or dairy allergy.
Love
Marival ❤️

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The wind whispers my name with an eerie sound of bleakness. Why does it whisper your name so bleakly? Is this because you are saddened by the past election results? Or something else entirely is bothering you.
I love your choice of artwork it adds to the eerieness of the Tanka poem.
Well written and hits straight to the heart.

I used personification. The bleakness comes from me .... or the reader.
Thank you very much for your excellent review 😊

I don't feel bleak so it must come from you and your feelings.
How are you doing, my friend?
I feel fine.

When I wrote the reader I meant in general, not you particularly. I'm glad you are happy, Jesse.

Thanks.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Cold both inside and out but with one difference as the silence of the room contrasts hauntingly with the whispers outside. This is not a place I would care to be in! Thanks for sharing your excellent and decidedly creepy verse. Debbie
