When we witness someone's grief, we feel it deeply and you captured their sorrow here perfectly as we are broken inside when we grieve, love Dolly x x x x

The author's words are heartfelt, descriptive and creative. I found the
poem sad and like how this author compared it to a broken wing. Thank
you for the author's notes - another way to look at the heavy burden of loss. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome!
Gypsy, have a good week!....Maria

Oh Marival, this is beautiful, and it almost breaks my heart, reading this beautifully written tanka. The sorrow and pain comes through every stark written line. It gave me pause. Un abrazo, Ulla xx

Hi MariVal,
This ekphrastic tanka describes the emotion the exuded from the artwork.
I like the dove at the end to show the broken wing fixed,
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Joan

I like the personification of this poem. Yes. A bird with a broken wing will not go anywhere. It's start for a wonderful relationship. Helping each other will establish an unbroken bond.

Well done.

This begs for a back story. Your poem drew me in. I want to know what is going through his mind while he stares off. I want to know what has happened to him, either physically or emotionally that she needs to heal. Great job on this. Beautiful words and imagery. Gretchen

Blue eyes can be captivating, especially sad ones. This poem is a wonderful reminder that we need to be understanding of each other and help when needed. I think often we just ignore situations. Thank you for sharing this beautiful package with us.

This was a fantastic tanka, Gypsy. I loved the dual pictures because they showed that the loneliness in the eyes. They also showed the fact that there was also a broken wing. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Hello Gypsy, I enjoyed reading your ekphrastic tanka.
It is beautifully composed and the presentation is lovely. What is it about sad eyes that stir the healing and nurturing instinct in us?
Best wishes, Debra :)
