This is a good Tanka. The text is a great size. I love how you have coordinated the colors in the visual with the text. The message is clearly stated. The visuals fit perfectly with the text. Thanks for sharing.

Another fine poem, Gypsy, and another great painting a portrait with words, "nightingale sings on midsummer eve," and "waits on the shore of dreams, " excellent!

The color scheme and presentation do justice and complete the beauty of the words of this excellently written Tanka.
Your notes are amazing about these women who born to a male dominated society, yet found there own voice.
Best wishes,
Mary

I like how the font color matches the dress and the bird in the artwork.
She does sort of having loving thoughts. I wonder why the cat isn't going after the bird.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Holidays.

Juliet: "Believe me, love, it was the nightingale."
Romeo: "It was the lark, the herald of the morn".

This is perfection, the poem, the visual side, the picture. Thank you for introducing me to Chie Yoshii's pictures :)

waits on the shores of dreams (All the lines in this poem are great, but this line is perfect.)

Thank you for sharing this complete presentation with us. Once again, you nailed the entire package. Great job.
