    Thank you so much, Karenina, for your continued support and encouragement throughout the challenge. I've appreciated every single review and it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you a little :)

    You asked me to let you know if you missed any of my posts. There's a few from the start of the month (prologue,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 & 20), Please don't feel that you have to go back and review, but if you'd like to take a look, be my guest!

    Best wishes always, Debra x

    Thanks, I will, and I've made a note! I'm battling covid so I'm trying to catch up on the current "list" of reviews and then I'll go back to savor these! --K

Well I thought the kitten was cute, but the panda takes the cake, Debra. Is he the Kung Fu panda? Congratulations on your exceptional work during this poetry month. I am sorry I don't have a six left. Thank you for all your kind support of my work. It was a great encouragement. So pleased that I've got to know you and to appreciate your style.

Good luck in the voting booth

Stay safe and blessed, Julia

Aw, this is so nice. I love Panda Bears, and especially when they show their love.

It was great good fun participating in the National Poetry Month, poem a day project.

I enjoyed all your writing, and this farewell is almost a little sad.

Much enjoyed. :)

Gloria

Oh, yes--Bravo! Bravo! Ditto, ditto! This is an adorable piece to finish it off. This is a very fun format, the JIYU-SHI. A panda seems fitting for a Japanese form. Love the layout, and I share the sentiment!

We reached the end -- a
bit of sadness (and relief)!

Happy May :)

Hi,
I was looking forward to this. I hadn't noticed it was the last day of the month.
You've ended on a very happy note. Also sweet and generous.
The poem is lovely. It's very you.
It's the first time I hear of Jiyu-shi, so thank for explaining through an example and in the notes.
