Such a beautiful Tanka Gypsy. I know Joan would have loved it too. She was such an artist, from the center out. It seemed to me she did everything with artistic flair. You have used this metaphor so masterfully through every line of the poem, crescendoing in the final line with following light. It is perfect and deserves more than five stars.

Gypsy, this death Haiku is a stunning tribute to our dearly departed Joan. She has helped to mentor me and my writing over the past since I have joined FS so many years ago, She is missed.

rainbow palette
her masterpiece is complete
she follows God's divine light

Sometimes artwork does not compare to a person's happy and fulfilling life. The true treasures were given in acts of kindness and love.

You did a great job with your tribute to Joan. I enjoyed reading your tanka, although it is poignant. You painted a great snapshot of her artistic endeavors. I like the line about following God's light. [That cn be light as an artist uses it and light of God].
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Oh such a wonderful tribute to Joan here, Marival -- and although the Tanka is, of course, lovely, I especially like that you incorporated a shared passion between the two of you! ;) Thanx so much for sharing her in your pen! ;) Yvette

And a fine artist Joan is. That is just gorgeous, Gypsy. Her haiku and short poems were always a joy to read, and this is a superb tribute to the faith and works of an exemplary member of the FanStory community.

Really fine work here. :)

-A beautiful image
and poem, Gypsy.
-You wrote a very good
poem to go with it.
-Joan would love this; she
always liked art.
-She would love the pivot
line with the "palette of rainbows."
-A very good ending; she certainly
deserves peace and tranquility.
-A lovely person I will miss very much,
as will many of us.
-I plan to write something, but
it might take me a little while.

This is so sweet in honor of your friend and fellow writer/artist. I also love learning about all of these different types of Japanese poetry formulas. So fascinating.

All the best.
