Gypsy Rose,
This is an exceptional tanka poem, lamenting love lost.
I especially like your use of the word, penumbra, as being a shadow.
Exceptional work,
Best wishes in the contest,
and with your writing.

Comment from Mark Schardine
It could have been a beautiful love story, but perhaps social conventions, egotism, or even a cowardly refusal to declare one's love mean that it never becomes reality, only painful reflections on what might have been.

Comment from lyenochka
It's too bad she has a love that is either only in her dreams or perhaps she has an affair with a married man and so her love can never be exposed to the light of day. Great job with your tanka!

Good luck wishes in the Tanka Poetry contest, Gypsy. This was a very well done Tanka, which told of their love that was unable to survive from dawn to dusk but also that it couldn't survive the dream like state, only to die. I liked the picture of the young maiden. Very much enjoyed. Blessed be n hugs!

Comment from AP Apgar
I like this poem - It is a very nice picture of one of the characters in the story being told in the poem, proving a setting / cultural dynamic - and leaves the story to the imagination of the reader - to assume that the infatuation fantasy between the characters was shared. Good job.

This is a very nice poem. The message of this poem is clear. "hide in our own private dreamland," is a great line. Your picture accentuates this poem well. Nice poem.
