Oh, kym, you nailed it. What a beautiful tanka. Good form, syllables count and connection between lines. I love the presentation too. Well done, my friend.

Yes, winter seems to cause emotional withdrawal as well as physical, and we do long for the renewal and warmth of Spring, and the lightening of our hearts with the arrival of warmer weather and outdoor activities. Well written Tanka.

You've really captured the tanka form here. You started with winter and the coldness of the lonely heart then you pivot to the focus on emotion and return us to memories of summer. Great job with your moving poem!

Hello kahpot, your poem illustrates the cold of winter and what it does to our spirit. Of special note:
as winter invades
my lonely heart hibernates
(Soulful. k, more than my heart hibernates, my whole body too. I hate winter. Ugh.)
Summer's not over yet, and I am already missing it. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

A nice flowing tanka. The language is simple. The images are clear. The presentation fits well with the poem.
I long for summers return
In this line it seems that summers should be possessive.
Thanks for a good read.
