I understand what you shave written but like even better what you say in your author notes: "Never allow another's opinion or acceptance of you to define either who you are or who you are not."

You did a good job with your Tanka Poem. It certainly painted a vivid picture in my mind. The art work you put with your poem perfectly fits the concept of your poem perfectly. Have a great day. Shirley

I really liked this poem. It was definitely full of emotion. The message is an excellent one and it is a great lesson for all. I am new to poetry and had to look up what a Tanka poem was so i learned something. Thank you.

I really like the honesty of this poem. Also really liked how your use of different font colour gave the poem a second message that drove it home. Stay real and thanks for sharing!

Excellent subject material with strong emotive language. My only suggestion here is to maintain the 5/7/5/7/7 format to meet the requirements of the CEC.

An easy repair I am sure, and I wish you much luck with the Contest Committee. :)

This is well written and well presented.
Your writing is wildly emotional leaving a powerful message that I hope all of your readers will receive.
Never let someone define you, don't give them that power..... keep it for yourself.
