A beautiful read and presentation, I do need some help understanding
"sthat" in the third line, the image of being alone within a crowd is very familiar, ****kahpot

What a wonderful tanka, Gypsy. I really enjoyed the wording of your tanka. It brought together your thoughts from the first line of your narrative notes. It is truly a possibility to feel lost in a crowd. I enjoyed the concept of the picture of the boat and all those fireflies and then of course the firefly at the end of your tanka. Blessed be n hugs!

Hi Gypsy,
your notes, and poem by Faraaz Kazi are exquisite... so to top them would take some doing.

Okay, you hit on my favorite colour and when I read beauty within words and they connect to me personally, it's like the poem was written for and to me. That in itself is the aim of every great writer... to bond to one's audience individually, as if it was them you are speaking to.

A truly beautifully composed and presented Tanka.

I am a fan with admiration and awe to your talent and art.
Always look forward to reading your posts.

With our thoughts we create...
perpetual motion.

Kindest regards,
James.

    Lord James, it's always a pleasure to hear from you and read your exquisite reviews. It's written for you, and reviewers like you, who understand me and 'get me'.

    Thank you with all my heart for the exceptional six stars review and kind words.

    The poem and author notes are written by me, the beatiful quote is written by Faraaz Kazi...I love it.

I am not sure about the "tug and pull" but the "lonely firefly" "amidst a myriad of lights" resonates with me. I definitely feel more lonely in a crowd and don't like large parties. Lovely presentation!

Hi Gypsy, well penned. The lonely firefly sits in the night admist a myriad of lights. How sad for the firefly and for people who feel like this. I know many people who are like this. Who knows what the reason may be.
G, your poem is filled with good imagery and is a pleasure to read.
Lovely artwrok choice. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer
