This was a fantastic tanka, Gypsy. The dual pictures were wonderful of the dawn and the row of flowers were stupendous. I loved your words because they proved to be true. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

I really enjoyed reading this romantic poem. I do remember those 'sleepless night of lovemaking'. After almost 46 years of marriage, sleep is too important. LOL

This was the moments after. The warm afterglow of love. When the energy is spent and the inhibitions shed. Love the unhurried pace of the morning. The rose colored dawn showing up on her terms. Great poem. Gretchen

Hi MariVal,
BTW, I love your names... both of them!
I think I will switch around to and at will to how I read what you have posted?

Hmmmmm, maybe I should have another name for you when visiting these love-charged Tanka poems?

Pequena descarda sexy, may describe the sense you painted on this lazy hazy rose dawn... the time when you want her time to pass as slowly as possible to allow it to stretch in time and intensity.

Always a pleasure to read and view a poet/writer who prides themselves on presentation and delivery.

With our thoughts we create...
an Alaskan Winter.

Warmest regards,
James.

    Hello, James, it's always a pleasure to read your intuitive insightful reviews. You may call me any name you want as long as it's done with that 'James flair'.... Gypsy is my alter ego's name... my mischievous playful girl. Marival is the name my friends and family call me. Gypsy Queen is more regal, fanstorians gave me this one. One fanstorian calls me Magic Unicorn... hahaha. That one makes me laugh.

    Magic unicorn... What the?
    Guess you may be a mythical creature? But more like a magical human being to me.
    And here I thought It was I who named You Gypsy Queen... just goes to show, we all reuse someone else's words... but never their emotions or connection.

A lovely romantic poem. I guess this is likely during the honeymoon and before the kids woke them up before the the arrival of dawn which is no longer taking her time.

    LoL, yes, before the kids.

    Thank you very much, big sister. I love you. Have a wonderful day.

A fair example of transition to the first two lines to the second, set, I like the tanka, it gives a little more leeway, the shorter the transitions the better thought out, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
