Lovely. I like the verse :"waiting in our meeting place knowing you won't come". I think this deeply felt human experience is described here so well. I like the contrast it forms w nature...
And the title is so intriguing
Nice work Gypsy.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi MariVal,
This tanka seems to be a poem of mourning for a loved one who has died or a break up that hasn't let you move on yet. The love is as extinct now as the the last spix macaw. I like how the print matches the color of the bird and is a metaphor for the sadness in the poem
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, Gypsy, this was amazing. I haven't been giving six star in days, except maybe one, saving them for the best - and this certainly is.
It is priceless, I loved every word, I had tears in my eyes reading about bleeding hearts. This was a Tanka at its best. Great artwork.
I missed your writing, Gypsy. But I haven't been on the sight much.

Comment from Sarah Das Gupta
This is a beautifully presented piece with the picture perfectly complementing the text! The words are poignant and the tone elegiac. The 'blue' font is appropriate!

Comment from AP Apgar
I like your tanka poem - interesting picture presentation - Good word count - nicely worded - a thousand lonely nights waiting in our meeting place knowing you won't come - excellent flow - if this a male bird he is certainly determined, poor guy, however in the right meeting place - bleeding-heart flowers blooming - nice. Good Job. AP

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There is deep grief and sadness in these words and you cleverly included the last cry of this now extinct bird to add to the melancholy, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I enjoyed reading your poem. The emotion flowed from it. Then I read the author's notes. How did the last Spix Macaw get from Brazil to where the flowers were in either China, Korea, or Japan. I think I over thought it. LOL Loved the poem.
