Hello Alcreator, I must admit I did enjoy "Nada!" when you so thoughfully left an authors note to help one along with your line of thought.
Well done I some how can relate to the penniless state after the week has shot through, I would love to read more of your poems, when I am back online soon
It is a pleasure to me you.
Warm regards

Very well done. You were consistent with the format. Thank you for adding the authors notes as this enhanced the read. I also liked the picture you chose to accompany your poem. Good job.

Although I am not even close and make no claims on being a competent reviewer for Tanka poems, I do realize the difficulty in writng them. You have done an excellent job with this one.

This Tanka poem is in perfect syllable counting; one can think of one's prestige, power state when one is penniless; no one cares a penniless soul he is then not even fit for game, he is doomed for nothing, no soul considered; it is an excellent message true at every inch so briefly but boldly captured; enjoyed reading.

ALCREATOR WRITER: Just read your Be Nada! Thank you so much for the translation - it helps, but your author's note clarifies. With that, and reading it again I can claim and/or incorporate into my own realm, and it can become a saying I can use as I approach pennilessness at the end of each month. This is delightful, Good job, well done!.

I am glad you added the note. Now it makes much more sense. I am part Scottish but not enough to know the language. This is a very well written poem!

This was a challenge to read. It was more of a study. but the more I read it over and over the more I understood it (thanks to your notes) and then I started to like it. I gave you five stars just because you were smart enough to write this.

What a fun little Tanka about "nothing". :)
Thanks for entertaining us and educating us at the same time.
"Be nadir, nada!
When tall penniless you are
They nab, call "naebody"
Nap and name you "na", "naething"
"No room", "nae game", "doom you are"! "

It's always nice to hear a little gaelic. I liked this short work very much. Thanks so much for offering it. I wouldn't change a word. All the best. Ray.

I found this quite interesting how you placed into it different words than the regular English sayings. A very short and sweet poem that strikes the point right off the bat.
