I love this. I don't know if there is one I haven't loved. I cannot critique your poetic format for you are an expert and I an amateur. Beautiful. Cherish :)

Haha, I liked the humorous twist with the inclusion of tuna. You have used a more serious beginning to your verse and then you end it with fun. You have cleverly used humor as a tool in your writing. Very well done, Gypsy!!

I bet that cat is hoping he wins the cat lottery and he's taken inside, loved, and fed tuna. LOL I had fun reading this poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. I hope you had fun writing it.

I like your modern Tanka poem - good picture presentation- cute storyline- and realistic satori- lol - tuna- - my sister had twelve cats - a joy to watch them and all their friends in the neighborhood at dinner time - drop the food and run was the best option!! Good job AP

Exceptional

I have to my shame being half japanese never attempted a Tanka or read many , so i cant pass comment on form. But having attempted a haiku I do know the difficulty involved with a restrictive format to convey what you want to I find this masterful. I love how so few lines the author brings home the sense of lack and need. The night us without a moon, the lack of a companion within the room,'alone' the cat also lacking love, and food too. Superb

Love your humor in "hungry for love and tuna" as the cat has other hungers that motivate him but the narrator is more hungry for love and companionship. Well done. Cute picture!

Thank you big sister. I noticed the moon so I had to erase it. Now is a moonless night. I like that picture too.

Love,
