This work has reached the exceptional level

Yes a 'tight' and gentle hug' sounds wonderful just now. I am afraid we oldies don't get a lot of those. Absolutely beautiful presentation with the Oriental picture you chose. It's perfect for my taste..Giddy

This was definitely an interesting and romantic Tanka poem, Gypsy. I enjoyed the different colors of font that you used. Your words showed a longing of a partner, who showed love. Blessed be n hugs!

I like your poem - Nice presentation - Nice Tanka Poem - Progressive in thought and time - apparently awake in the moment feeling the components of the hug - tight, gentle, combined with the emotion it produced - then in the second part of the poem, the contrast - remembering the experience - daydreaming about lips and eyes. Good job in bringing forth the intended emotion in the poem.

I like it that you use Japanese paintings for the Japanese poems. I like the format and content of this longing for love poem. I especially like the word "aquamarine".

Well done.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----racy little ditty, no? I seem to remember this feeling years ago in the swirling mists of time, but it's been so long, maybe not?

    Thank you very much, Mike :) yes, it's for the Japanese Poetry Club. It's supposed to be romantic. I'm glad it hit the mark.
