This is another delightful Japanese format perform. I enjoyed it very much. It is true that most of the romantic poems that seems are written by women. Men don't tend towards the romance so much. Patricia.

Hi Gypsy Queen((((((,
I know it's me, but I'm a sucker for these sentiments, the passion that allow the mind to wander into a picture, a scene in one's mind's eye... dreamy floating thoughts.

To have such a beautiful crafted Gogyohka pair such as these two playing out desire, passion, disappoint and possibility just shows your expertise in your chosen format.

I also love the examples you displayed... both brilliant.
One day I may give this style a go... it appeals to me so much.

With our thoughts we create...
the connection to aforetime.

Warm regards,
James.

    You would write amazing tanka as visual as you are. Also, you are a master of imagistic detail .

    You know it's my favorite poetic form. I feel linked to the Japanese women tanka poets. They wrote about the same kind of passion, loss, and grief.

    James, thank you for the exceptional six stars review. I appreciate your time and encouragement.

    I hope you are well.

    Besitos y abrazos

Another fine poem of longing and jealousy, Gypsy.... I certainly lived this tragic ode back in the days when the would was close to the surface: time does indeed heal all wounds, or at least lessens their effects

This was a wonderful tanka, Gypsy. I really loved the pictures of the mist covered mountains with the sun partially risen and the flowers of the prelude. Your words were inspiring. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

OUCH!! OUCH!! This poem is filled with emotion and not the good time of emotions. I can feel the hurt. A lover leaving for another person. In some of the situations I've know, that lover also hurts the other person so that person gets karma. I feel if they did it once, they will do it again. Great package.

These are beautiful Gypsy. Such a tender way with words and yet burning with passion too. So excellent.

I love this, it seems to be about a love gone bad, but beautifully crafted to grip onto one's bad feelings and a sense of betrayal, I love this very stark reminder of tanka themes, beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

Gypsy, This is a very lovely and very well written Tanka poem you have penned. You used very beautiful and very descriptive words from the heart. Beautiful imagery from the art work you chose and great colors for your words. I wish I had six stars to give you, but I am all out! love and blessings, Teri

I like your Gogyohka poem - Nice picture presentation - noticed you used the word midst - in American and England most common - amidst - both correct.
In the poem - reference to plucking lily pedals' - nice- 'love's her not' - also like your Zen reference - he is with his wife - but person is fantasizing that in another incarnation she was his wife - consistent with my beliefs - Good Job. AP
