Hi Debbie,
what a wonderfully composed set of Tanka's... the visual quality of insight was a true delight... every suite had a view.

The layout, colour scheme and construction is beautiful.

A true delight my dear friend.

With our thoughts we create,
visual words,

So happy someone has addressed your need for pain relief... I know how draining that emotion can leave you, not to mention all of pain's wonderful side affects.

Also, sorry for my short absence... to review with such a blankness behind my eyes would have been a lie... I'm just so dull in my head at the moment.

Debbie, you have accomplished four writes that stand on their own or accents, contrasts or shows the relationships in the various seasons. I enjoyed them all. Effective emotive words chosen. :0 GracieAnn

Lovely batch of tankas here, one for each season of the year. In just a few words, you've nailed the essence of each perfectly. :)

Debbie, hope you get he relief from your pain that you hope for. I feels so good to be pain free.
This is an excellent write about the four season. The words you chose, describe the feeling of that season. A very good write. Thanks for sharing. Bob

I like your Tanka cluster as I called it. It flowed from season to season with ease and great visuals.
squirrels scurry storing food ..
I only hope we have lots of warm days before that happens again. LOL .. Love you, Carolyn

This is an interesting post. Four seasons - four tankas. Each tanka aligned with a season.

I'm glad to hear that you are finally going to get relief from your pain.

Thanks for sharing this. JW

Dear Debbie - Your tanka suite is well penned with great images. Your word choices pump this up some for me. At present we are having the gray skies and rain storm...this fits in perfectly. Nicely penned set - I enjoyed the read.
Thanks for sharing it.
Maureen
P.S. - glad you got your meds:)
