This was a beautiful tanka poem. I loved the words you used--they painted a picture. The literary devices were wonderfully used and woven into the poem. I love the colors and imagery. Well done!

So many cool pictures in your words! The eyes are like the skies and the hair is so dark like a moonless night. And the feelings of the rain and the scent of jasmine are also invoked. Nice sensual imagery!

    Thank you very much, big sister. How are you feeling today? I'm thinking about you and praying for you. I get dizzy when my blood pressure is too low.

    Love

    I so appreciate your prayers, MariVal. We just took our grandson back after the whole weekend with him. I went to the chiropractor. Somehow I'm not 100% yet. I'll see if I can see my doctor sooner.

    Yes, seeing the doctor right away is the best idea.

    Love,

Oh, Marival, I loved this beautifully written Tanka. Its sensual feel is intriguing. I love how you combine the south with the north of Spain, keeping it's mystery alive. Un abrazo y un besito, mi amiga. Ulla xcx

There is not a writer on-site that presents their work as beautifully as you do, Gypsy. I am constantly in awe that your eye for the artistic is only excelled by your intrinsically touching words.

You take us there. We see her... It is impossible to look away!

Hi MariVal
This is a wonderful mix of metaphors and personification used to describing the woman in the artwork.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day,
Joan

Well her eyes are certainly beautiful, and completes the picture of a really stunning woman. When I see such beauty I can't help but reflect on our Creator. You have captured the essence of the tanka very well here, in my humble opinion.
Nice one.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi MariVal,
you created a magic scene by lifting the initial impact of the stunning vision of such piercing blue eyes looking right into the very heart of you in creating the words to match its magnetism.

I loved that you then solidified the 'Blue mood' with the 'gypsy blue eyes and then again matching it with the cerulean sky.

This is a truly beautiful tanka not only in the obvious image provided, but paired with the magic of your craft it enters one's soul and tickles all of my senses.

A Gypsy with blue eyes, I have a beautiful friend who resembles that!

With our thoughts we create...
a rendezvous.

Warmest regards,
James.

    Thank you, James, I'm so happy you like my Tanka. I haven't written one in a while and I have to get back to my favorite form. I hope I did it justice. I appreciate your exceptional six stars review but most of all, the unmatching deep and intuitive way you write. Thank you, James. I feel seen and cared about.

    I put a piece of myself in most of my writing ... some more than others so your reviews mean a lot to me. Have a wonderful day.

    Con cariņo, amigo mio,
