A beautiful picture, Gypsy. I enjoyed the reference to Bob Dylan's song, I recognized it before I read your notes. This was a great double tanka because it showed that their is a difference between dreaming and a peaceful sleep. Blessed be n hugs!

Nicely imagined and nicely composed. I liked the juxtaposition of images here, very romantic, but at the same time very telling of how we feel when we are separated from a lover. There's that emptiness you have here in the blue space, and the hope of reconciliation in that image of the lighthouse across the waters. estory

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This Tanka is very romantic. You have captured the finite quality of a romantic interlude and with the excellent title written a very fun romp in the tangles of blue sheets and pillow cases. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your talent for Japanese poetry styles.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Gypsy,
The first word describes this entire write.
Wow-wow-wow, if your last Tanka rose to the challenge, then this suite just one-upped the game of love.
A stunning image to accompany the words that give life to its essence.
I'm lost in the thought of something so romantic, it lingers in a scent so sweet and sombre.
The splash of blue added the longing of distance and amplifies the intensity in hope for a final destiny.... back into the embrace of love.
This is absolutely beautiful in content, composition and presentation... a true wordsmith at play.
With our thoughts we create...
a beacon of want.
Kindest regards,
James.

Comment from Wendy G
Two separate thoughts coming together as one as at first she is distant, and daydreaming, but then she is drawn back into the safety and security of his arms - by his intimate heartbeat. Interesting lighthouse image.

Thank you very much for your excellent review and feedback. I appreciate it. You understand my tanka suit completely and that's
A good sign ... I'm glad you like it. Tanka is all about love and yearning. It's my favorite. In Japan, most tanka poets are women. My favorite is Tanka ono no komachi.

Comment from karenina
Love that you did not use blue in your presentation---this made the "tangled up in blue" line POP! Excellent lighthouse metaphor as well.
As always, your poems leave me smiling and breathless my friend!
Nice nod to Bob Dylan ~ I've always loved that song! If you care to enjoy it again as I just did, try this link:

Lovely imagery and images for that delicate time and feeling that is so intense and important. The intricacy of the form is a fine container for the sentiment.

I very much enjoyed this pair of haunting Tanka. I found they contrasted satisfyingly, the subject of the first seeming happy to daydream whilst he of the second needs to be drawn towards his love. Kate xx

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Beautifully presented, per usual. The text and visual blends so well together. This could easily be an entry in the Love Poem contest too. The poem itself could stand alone as a quality poem with the visuals it is made complete. Well done!
