As soon as I saw the title I knew your poem must be about the mountains - and you paint a lovely picture of the early-morning look and feel of those "round mounds." Not sure I understand the wet t-shirt reference, but it did make me smile:-)

    Round Mounds is about nature and the personification of a woman with curb. You are very kind, Pam. I always appreciate constructive feedback and reviews. It's good to hear from you. Have a wonderful day.

I really enjoyed the evocative language, made more impactful by its brevity. The wet-tshirt reference is fun and original. Keep writing! Good work...

A beautiful presentation with words so poetic to describe the beauty of the scene. You lull the reader into serenity with images and words, and then the wet t-shirt line. Funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Best wishes and regards,
Mary

Hi Gypsy, your poem has lots of good imagery. I'm sure that the men would love to see a real life wet t-shirt contest, but perhaps not by FS members. We're an older group with a droop - lol. They will have to use their imagination--no disappointment there. A fun poem. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

    I can't wait to see your photo one day. Like I said, after cancer, I thought ... what do I have to be afraid of (hacking). I've survived cancer. Be brave. Xo. Margaret

I like your Tanka poem - Excellent picture presentation - good theme - very clever lol - poem flows well - provides a subtle and suggestive picture - becoming clear after satori - then a reread - all fits together perfectly then - followed by a smile Nice job

A great tanka, Gypsy. Loved your imagery, visuals and artistic presentation. Excellent choice of an artwork. Admired the originality too.

As usual, it's a pleasure to read your work.

Oh my! I never expected gently rolling mountains being compared to a wet T-shirt contest, but I can see it. I really can. Thank you once again, for sharing an entire package.

    LoL women wouldn't but men have a one track mind. I like round curby mountains as in a beautiful imagery. When I write haiku or tanka I try to put myself in the shoes of other people or animals or insicts ... any sentient being. It's a good exercise.

    Thank you again, Barbara, you are very kind.
