Once again, your poem hit our senses. I think you only missed taste. That would be hard to do in a poem, I think. I bet it could be done. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us.

Hi Gypsy, well done. Beautiful photos and presentation. Great alliteration.

I especially liked:
Geisha glides gracefully
across bamboo floor
(Good imagery)

Also:
gentle jasmine scent follows
(Good sensory appeal)

A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. Margaret ~ LB

You always invoke so many senses in your poetry! This poem had me hearing the graceful steps on the bamboo floor and feeling the breeze and smelling the jasmine. It's you hear, feel, and then see the face revealed and then smell the lovely jasmine as it wafts after her. Great job as always!!

The alliterations used in this Tanka poem, both literal and aural, are wonderful. They provide the poem with a tremendous smoothness, and drive the progression of the poem. Much enjoyed. Kate xx
