The poem ends with the most important words "treacherous love" which was of course his intention from the very beginning. All too late she understands what he had in mind.

Thank you very much
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Gypsy, your poem is filled with vivid imagery and good sensory appeal.
Of special note:
my companion on this cold night,
melts into a sea of time
(The moon ~ the Romeo of the Sky)
Well chosen photo. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I've notice reading your poem for some time now all the difference names for the moon. I wasn't aware of all of them. Thank you for sharing that information with us.

I like your Tanka poem - beautiful picture presentation - your poem has good flow and is well written - lotus moon as described in your notes -your companion in your thoughts that night - melting into memories -aloof waves probably not good memories - reminds of 'treacherous' -really not so good memories of past love? Excellent notes! - nice job. AP

Enjoyed your poem and your notes! I think "murasaki" means "purple." That's cool that have purple for a name.
I liked how the poet addressed the moon. And as the moon affects the waves and is full or hidden, ever changing, the poet is reminded of a "treacherous love."

Comment from BOO ghost
I didn't know this: The new moon in June is known in some cultures as 'The Lotus Moon'.
Or this: Tanka is mostly written by women.
Interesting concept - where the men and women engaged in courtship would exchange tanka after an intimate night.
Woohoo! What did you just do--Gypsy Queen ð???? Hehehe.
Lotus? Reminds me of that cactus that only blooms at night and dies at dawn?
Dang! Tanka were invented during the first century? Kinda romantic poem. No rhymes. Limited punctuation? Looks like a dandy!
Tell BOO what you just did?

Hum, you got 67 tankas? How many intimate nights are you having? I'm just joking, Gypsy Queen.
