"Knee Deep in Dew"
This is 4/6/5/7/9 Modern Tanka.
Based on how lovers feel.
Skin soft and moist as if the silken flower in wet dew
Renewed new Life
Well written with excellent art work including font and backroom colors.
...
I believe Poetry is also Art.
Yes, a painting within the mind.

Gypsy,
This is a powerful, passionate poem.
The colors you've chosen for the lay-out (luminous red) also radiate an aura of passion.
Great work, Gypsy,
Blessings,
Cindy

This work has reached the exceptional level

what a gorgeous poem and captivating words. I was wondering if the lady was perhaps in a bathtub with tons of bubbles floating, making the dew mist. Candles are burning softly as she makes the memory lasting.

You sucked us in with the passionate artwork and then continued with the use of texture words, soft and moist
like silk in the rain. So much passion that it spreads across the floor burnt in his memory ... forever. WOW!

I just love the pivot like that sets up the whole poem, the artwork goes quite a distance to reveal the theme within is great ambiguity, this is beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

Wow ! That's some passion - a burning passion that still burns in memory of the beloved one! I like all the textures you use in the poem including the softness of silk and the moisture of rain.

Intricate, intimate use of this poetic form.
The passion is giving, yet taking.
"like silk in the rain-" what a great line!
Interesting history, have read many tankas over the years here on FS, but never heard the history.
Thanks for sharing!
