You have created an enticing landscape with your pen. Who wouldn't be drawn to yearning for a special person to share it with. Lovely sentiment expressed with a heartfelt vocabulary.

This tanka meshes well with the painting. It tells of the beauty and peace of the mountain scene.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas.

Feet caress cotton candy clouds is so alliterative and fun to say out loud. This is definitely a tanka in mount love which is close to where you live and is an outstanding name for a mountain.
Thanks for showing us all how to write with style and panache.

Good has given us so much to enjoy and the beautiful clouds are just a small part of His creation. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us. I know God is smiling down on you.

Your poem is displaying cotton candy clouds. Love the idea of your clouds being fluffy, light, and moving with grace and softness. I hope you do well on this poem.

A lovely tanka celebrating the creation, that the Lord has given us to enjoy, this is a language rich personification of the very inheritance we have been given. Thank you Gypsy, blessings Roy

I like your Tanka poem- good picture presentation and connection between lines- Mount Love woven in nicely- good information in notes to support - along with cotton candy clouds and rushing creeks - good job AP. ( How many poems this year ??? should be a record?

This tanka, My Yearning, has the proper formatting and finds one floating above the world with only the fondest effects from below to remind all that, still below, our hearts are in the stream.

Your poetry is always so lovely. You add some of the most spectacular pictures to the poems. I never heard of Mount Love, so I have learned something new today. Beautiful writing.
