This is another great and inspiring Tanka.
The artwork again is the same and it's also quite effective.
Well written again with no grammar issues and thanks for sharing.

LOL I knew if anybody could include all the senses it would you. It really wasn't challenge; I was just wondering. This is a beautifully written poem. I have never heard of natal plums. Will have to search them out.

You did cover all the senses in this poem. But even more than that, I like the powerful emotional images that you covered as well such as "rage" like "crashing waves" and " fierce grief of lost love."

I love the host of sensory images in this one and the desperate longing of the lover despite the thorns between them. Well done, and I hope all is well with you.

That second stanza of your tanka pair is a sensory delight--visual, scent, taste, sound, and touch. (I just read your author notes.) You have definitely achieved the use of all senses. Amazing description. Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem.
