This was a beautiful tanka, Gypsy. I loved the picture of the light streaming down on the water. Your words were well played in the sense of they needed to provide acorns in the water. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

This entire presentation just wants me to say WOW!!! And be honored that you're sharing your God given talent with us. Thank you so much for doing that. I don't understand how come you're doing professional circuits. You're that good.

Thank you very much, Barbara. I don't have the time to enter professional contests and publish my books. Maybe when my grandson is older. I get a lot of pleasure posting in fanstory. We have a wonderful community.

I appreciate your exceptional six stars review and kind words.

I enjoyed this tanka. The words are put together beautifully. You did a great job with alliterations: shimmering sunlight streams and ripple rings.The last line is strong. Good job!

Beautiful! You could make big money teaching neophytes like me how to present our posts like this!

I'm grateful if I can get any images to upload... rarely can adjust the size... and font and spacing is a secret code I haven't figured out!

I love the cycle of life thru nature here...

I like how you captured the eternally cyclical nature of the seasons with this lovely picture poem of the acorns falling and creating ringlets "forever" on the water.

Very nicely described.
Brief is sometimes better than lengthy when describing nature's exquisite scene.
Focus on the splendor in a way that brings the mind quickly to the main point.
Thanks for letting us see so clearly, the beauty we sometimes don't.

The rings in the water. They just keep rolling until you can barely see them. The imagery in this poem was breathtaking. I loved the autumnal feeling. This was very well written. Thank you for sharing it. Gretchen
