A beautiful poem and presentation for this Valentine's Day Poem. Love the matching text colour to the colours of sunrise. For me a combination of love and nature, beautifully done, Gypsy.

This poem is rich in descriptions. I've listed a few.

hungry for your contagious laugh
&
the sunbeam bathing your skin --
and be tickled by your batting lashes
and the twinkle of your eyes

Thank you for sharing this complete romantic package with us.

What a beautiful tanka or rather two of them, Gypsy. Those were great pictures of the sun peeking through the trees and the wonderful butterflies at the bottom. Your words were phenomenal. Blessed be n hugs!!!

You write and post such gorgeous (romantic) poetry and images. This poem is telling us that when you flicker the eyelashes it touches the warmth of the skin.

I can see the twinkling eyes and eye lashes. They are the sun and the rays of the sunshine. The lake and the reflection are the "red musky earth". I love the metaphors in this Tanka suit.

Excellent.

This is a beautiful and romantic poem with marvelous imagery. It's a perfect valentine. I especially like the lines,"...your hands are ripe harvest rooted in the musky earth..." Wish I had a six for you. Good luck in the contest.
