Haven't seen any work from you in awhile.. Are we Fans? I ask because if you have written anything and we are fans I should have seen it and if I saw it I would most certainly review...
Do you get anything from me? I have a Love poem up for theCommittee vote that I think you might like... Ruby-Red Blush
Anyway,
This was such a great read... Really enjoyed it.

    Hello, Lisa. I don't get anything from you and I write 2 poems a day, every day.

    I must let you know that I can't review all the time because I take care of my grandson and don't have a lot of time to review.

    I am crazy busy too... but I try to review as much as possible and of course write...
    No worries,

That's news to me that little death means post orgasm what a trip! I am in awe of your knowledge and conceptual awareness of everything to do with Japanese poetry.
The picture you chose works well and in this case, shows the woman in a little death pose.
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Jesse

This post caused me to smile, but it has nothing to do with the poem other than not wanting to get up and go to gym every morning. Nothing sensual like dreams of a former lover. Just not wanting to face the gym, but I know if I miss one day, day two will be easier to miss. LOl Once again, your presentation is perfect.

This a well written poetic piece in tanka style. I enjoyed the lovely imagery throughout this poem in particular, "amidst the rose dust of dawn." Your chosen artwork is perfect for your words. Well done.

I forgot who taught me the meaning of the "little death" - You used the term as part of your wordplay as the "rose dust of dawn" awakened to the day as the love experienced in dreams fades away.

I'm pretty sure one could describe depressive waiting and hoping for the return of one's lover from the fields of battle, could be describe so aptly as a "little death", beautifully written, dear Gypsy, blessings Roy
