Very nice. I like how you varied the color of your type to resemble the sunset. I can almost see the setting sun just in viewing the letters without even reading them.

Nicely worded.

Hola Reina Gitana,
en el horizonte mi mirada se convierte en anticipación del fuego que quema mi deseo como la salida de la luna que ilumina las posibilidades de otro día.

Composición verdaderamente mente hermosa que tocó mi corazón. Amor, respeto, besitos y abrazos Reina Gitana.

With our thoughts we create...
illumination through love.

Kind regards,
James.

    Why, thank you. I'm not so sure as to how my Spanish translates, but I'm enjoying the lessons and most of all, the connection.
    My reflection is floating on trade winds to capture the bounty of its quest.
    And you know I am an emotional reviewer... how can this not receive an exceptional!

    My delight is in the knowing that perfection is an illusion to how one perceives themselves.
    Wasted emotions clutter space for real life to enter~~ Jumbo.

The artwork you chose fits this poem perfectly. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions you gave. This poem is very romantic. Once the sun sets and the sky is dark, the sun rises, and the sky is light. Thank you for sharing and I enjoyed reading.

The passions like the sunset is beautiful but sad. When it means it ends and "that darkly dies every night." But I like the quote about the sun's "fiery kiss to night." So maybe it's not so sad since it happens everyday.

Beautifully stated and presented Tanka. I am starting to sound like a broken record. Lol The text is pleasing to read and the large visual and the small purple Iris is lovely. Thank you for sharing again a poem that was a pleasure to read and see.

I love 'darkly dies' for the simple beauty in the tragedy, and your use of the horizon as a destination and meeting of the current and passed is inspired. Beautifully written.

Mike

A beautifully written post, and a classic love poem to the glory of love and the dying monarch of the day, this is another beautifully written piece, that deserves the light of day, beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy
