This work has reached the exceptional level

Gypsy,
Your poem is great in every sense of the word.
"to love and be loved," is what most people want out of life. A profound concept, using just a few words.
I love the photo! Reminds me of the simple, fun I would get out of a summer's day.
Best wishes,
Cindy

You're right, Gypsy. Anyone who has these commodities is wealthy beyond measure. Love the picture you found (children are THE best commodity on the planet. I love their ability to find joy in ANYTHING!!) Thank you for this important reminder to always choose joy. xoxo

I wish I had a 6 because this expresses in such a beautiful way exactly what I wish for. I find it amazing how you got so much into so few lines and concluded it all with children's laughter. Hugs, Verna

AMEN!!! That's all any of us can ask, to be loved and to share our love. Children love so unconditionally. Wouldn't be wonderful if adults loved that way. Thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation with us.

So, how much of this colorful presentation is done by you, personally, and how much is Pinterest? I think the sixes you are receiving may be from the array of colorful pictures rather than the tanka itself. I don't know but I wonder. The divine providence and the children's laughter are both great things to have and I agree that to love and be loved is the aspiration of nearly all of us. But which is which and what is what?
You tell me.
Jesse

    WTF. ... Jessi, what's up? This is a hurtful review and I don't know why. I've always been nice to you. You are very condescending.

    The presentation is 100% done by me. I do get the pictures from pinterest but I use a Paint program to create the effects I want.

    I apologize. You are right I was condescending. I don't know what got into me, my moodiness took over and I am sorry.
    Please forgive me.

    I hope so. I wouldn't want to ruin a friendship over one bad review.

Your poem points out the things that do make life beautiful. But sometimes we forget what's important. We want the things we can hold in our hands or display for our friends. Those things become more important than the things we hold in our hearts. Beautiful and compelling poem. Gretchen

This tanka, All I Can Ask For, has the proper formatting and suggests not particularly for what one wants, but more for what one realizes he/she already has.

That's the best, isn't it? To Love and be Loved and to always enjoy the sound of the pure music of children's contagious laughter. You said it so well and gave credit to God's divine providence.
