The author's words describe well misfortune and it's sadness. The
poem is descriptive and creative. Thank you for the author's notes -
they made clear how meaningful this poem is! The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is unique and compliments these words.

Welcome
Comment from GWHARGIS
This was visually beautiful. The imagery of the cranes flying above and the lone person on the ground below, really took my breath away. I liked the fact that the feeling of being alone and left behind was reflected in the very actions of the birds. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Comment from estory
I liked the oriental feel of this, the abstract imagery that contains these powerful metaphors of being left behind by someone. I like that image of the crane flying away, leaving you behind on the ground. It sums up the end of the relationship and all the pain and loss one feels at that moment. There's also something of the surreal about it, it is very dreamlike, like watching something in slow motion or from a great distance. estory

Hi Jessica, I really this very sad Tanka poem about the crane that was left behind. The pivot line was beautiful written leading in to the second half of the poem. All best, Ulla :)))

Excellent classic tanka.
I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Comment from Sally Law
Fantastic tanka poem, Jessica. Stinging with images of betrayal throughout. The cranes flying above, hurriedly witness the event.
Marvelous tanka as you paint the scene, which is much like a haiku poem.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest.
