Hi MariVal,
this made me feel!
I would love to go on and explain how... but your powerful Tanka says it all in what it would take me a couple of pages to create such emotion.
Every time I read tall grass, another piece of my heart breaks off at its knowing.
Your presentation and construction and composition is impeccable.
Truly exceptional!
With our thoughts we create...
comfort for the younger self.
Warmest regards,
James.

James,
Thank you very much for the exceptional six stars review and tender words for this particular poem. I put myself on the page and I know you understand. Your thoughts mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to go through so many of, my poems.
Besitos y abrazos
MariVal

Yes, I understand... and well, it's been a trying week, so I know I miss the bulk of what you post and I'm truly sorry I do, but I don't stay on the computer, or sit for long stints... so it ends up impractical to do so. Hope you understand, it's not a situation where I don't want to read all, it's just my life steering me.
Jumbo Hugs!

No need to apologize, James. I know how you feel and the pain you deal with. I am just happy whenever you come around because I like to hear from you but also because you feel better. No worries. I write two poems a day so no matter when you come by, there will always be something to read. Some good Some bad.
Besitos. Amigo mio.

Gypsy,
I love your healing poem. At first it is intense, and even tragic, then the following lines are comforting and healing.
Good luck, Gypsy,
Blessings,
Cindy

Relationships can damage us physically and emotionally. I feel the emotional damage is harder to heal. Moonbeams, I'm pretty sure can help one heal. Once again, your package is perfect.

What a great tanka, Gypsy. The dual pictures of the maiden and the tree and the flower were magnificent. Your words were special in that they showed justice and a degree of love. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

So many have been wounded physically or emotionally and we know that healing won't come from the ones who have hurt us but God will heal our broken hearts and the hurts of our past. Lovely presentation!

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Beautiful writing and a very very serious story. The only way I can relate to this personally as an adult because in my twenties I peeled back boards in an attic fall just a hide from my ex husband who was coming home soon.
That's not the same but the feeling of terror when you're hiding is the same.
You were given the grace of your writing.
God always keep you safe and bealing.
Love Alexan

Comment from GWHARGIS
This was written so beautifully. But I sensed a darker meaning to this beautiful poem. The hiding because of something that was probably not your fault. Trying to blend in with the scenery. All coping mechanisms. Great job. Gretchen
