Another fine poem, Gypsy----and I've got two words for you, "cold shower", believe me, it works, plus, it saves on your electric bill; it's a win/win!

Virtual Six

"...reverbarates...over my mounds and valleys''

How beautiful, how feminine, how sensual.
Just beautiful writing.
The image suits well the imagery, and the projection.

I am touched with this little piece. Beautiful Gypsy. All aspects of the Tanka to its utmost, remembering, a Tanka, can be just a Tanka, if not the words formulated ...and you have done this extremely well. I could have read more.
Well done.

I recommend your classes Gypsy, because when writing is as well preserved, and as well projected, so naturally, (and I have seen other instances) the teacher must have what it takes.
Bravo. This is a virtual six, in all aspects of sixes.
Well done.
If this was a competition, for the said category, I would have no doubt the winner.

Well done.
My best.
RG

Stunning duet of Tanka, seeped in passion and longing and presented as only you can.
Your skill is well honed and I look to you for all manner of Japanese poetic forms. Beautifully rendered!

This tanka is especially sensuous and romantic. I thought the roses were a lovely touch on your presentation. This lends it self to many romantic images and implies a romantic and excellent setting. Giddy

This work has reached the exceptional level

Gypsy,
You portray passion so deftly in this gorgeous poem.
Your delicate painting of passion is so breathtaking.
I guess what I like the most is that it is sensual, but in an innocent, delicate, and tasteful sense.
Good luck with all your writing, Gypsy,
Cindy

Oh yes this is the time for romance, and how beautifully you write it. Your adept use of metaphor makes this a pleasure to read and review.

I find the tanka a fascinating form, and you do it very well.

Much enjoyed. :))

"my mounts and valleys" - did you mean "mounds and valleys"?

"pinned to rekindle" - not sure what this means, Gypsy

My comments aside, I loved your rapturous pair of love tankas. You're a champion.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

    Yes, I meant mounds ( in my mind I was thinking mountain and valleys, is a classy way to say... breast and stomach...etc... ) But you're right, I corrected it. Even though I lived in the USA since I was 16, I still get some words incorrect. ...


    "pinned to rekindle" - .. It's metaphor... Yearning pinned (attached or fastened) rekindled (restart their passion),

    Thank you very much for your review and feedback.
