First let me applaud you for your work with addicts. That is a tough and often heart breaking job. I enjoyed the poem here as it alludes to the walk giving peace even though flooded with discord.

I'm not usually a tanka fan but yours is different. I imagined taking a walk after an argument to seek some peace and solitude. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written Tanka about the path we walk with God allow us to open our hearts and thoughts to God and He gives us comfort and truth to handle our problems and gives us peace in our minds.

A walk through flowers and especially a rose garden always brings me peace as well.
A lovely tanka accompanied by a lovely picture.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

I like this poem that seems to be speaking of bringing your thoughts to God and allowing him to help you sort out the lies and negative thoughts that we have to deal with in this life. I like how you emerge from this walk with greater peace. Bill

The conclusion of your poem is after walking through the tribulation of life, at the end the goal is: " The walk floods my soul with peace " Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

I appreciate the idea of a walk in nature bringing peace and communion with God, but I do wonder about the order and arrangement of your lines here.

Line 4 Statements are filled with discord came as a shock, since it seemed you were already well into the peace-bringing walk. I would consider re-arranging so that line is near the beginning of your piece.

    Thank you for the excellent review and your great comments. In
    answer to your question: The Labyrinth Walk is a place for me
    where I bring my thoughts and concerns. When I get to the center I let go and release them. For me it is there I find God's peace....

Your well-written, thought-provoking tanka conveys a powerful message about those peaceful walks, a necessity for us when we want to scape the "discord" of the day's statements.
