Comment from Mark Schardine
At the end of this poem, we see not merely great sorrow, but also how a person does not really understand the past, and after a deception even deceives herself.

Comment from AP Apgar
I like this poem - picturing youth filled with dreams and hopes under the tree of life - soon to learn -over a lifetime - how to be ' specific about what she wishes for' and developing the art of "creating " non-bitter fruit- in her life. Avoid ing delusional and diffuse prayers. Wisdom. Good Job

Comment from Jasmine Girl
This poem is so sad about a lost love. I really hope she will find true love instead of dreaming about it. Falling love needs action. Day dreaming will not help. Go and get him.
Well done.

What a fantastic picture, Gypsy. The words of your Kaikai poem showed definitely a daydreamer in a tree with the refusal to return home because it is empty. Wonderfully well done, greatly but sadly enjoyed. Blessed be n hugs!

Comment from lyenochka
Your kaikai / haikai (you have kaikai in your description) reminds me of the tanka and it pivots from the tree of hopes to the "bittersweet fruit" as we realize the loved one is gone by the end of the poem. Well done!
Suggestion:
with delusional notions. (This is 8 syllables and I wondered if you meant delusional or disillusioned ? Maybe shorten notions to dreams?)

I'm confused, I wrote haikai everywhere in the poem.
I can't use dream for two reasons, I don't want to repeat dreams and day dreaming. Second I need 7 syllables in the last line. I checked the thesaurus but if notions sounds bad I can look for a different one.
Thank you very much for your detailed and kind review with good feedback.

No, then keep it notions. the "kaikai" was in the description line.
-
It's supposed to be kaikai. I can't find a misspelling, now is going to drive crazy LoL I'll check again, but you are saying kaikai and that's the right spelling.
-
I changed it to desires, it sounds better :)
-
In your explanatory notes it says "HAIKAI is a Japanese comic poetry form,"
-
Oh, okay now I get it. Thank you 😊

I've always been a daydreamer, and I've passed to my talented offspring, and grandsons, but delusional? Perhaps not, but we can be so imaginative, we can become too imaginative, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
