This poem was absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. I always enjoy your poetry, but I don't always know what to say about it. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from karenina
Oh, well ~ yes! This is precisely the feeling, isn't it? There is no pain quite as stunning as the loss of love once thought so true, so destined to be forever! This is the perfect tanka metaphor for "bleeding onto the page."
We write because we feel!

Comment from AP Apgar
I like your tanka poem - nice picture presentation compliments the poem- good use of metaphors to describe- using ('bout) achieved word syllable count- gave it meter- nice- suggest (an) emotions -emotions starts with a vowel-grammar- good job AP

No, I don't need ''(an) emotions'', ''emotions'' is right.
Thank you very much for the review and kind words, I am very grateful.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I am learning a bit about haikus and will now have to learn about tankas. I'll click on your links.
I enjoyed reading this one of yours, which is why I want to learn more. I've never really reviewed your work because I didn't want to say the wrong things and look a total idiot! lol. I thought this one was so sad, from beginning to end. The presentation, red on black, worked perfectly and the picture is beautiful. Well done! :) Sandra

The redness in this poem sure puts a sparkle in your writing. Even though you are speaking about dying love, I think it will ignite again when someone see the beauty of your poem.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Gypsy Queen!
You do sorrow and heartbreak with a realistic and true emotional connection that is always so believable to the reader... well, this one for sure.
Your layout is also always impeccable and only adds girth to your words.
It's a true pleasure to read and be stalled in thought as I read the words that demand my attention. A beautifully constructed and composed tanka Gypsy Queen.
With our thoughts we create...
a new chapter.
Kindest regards,
James.

Hello, James,
Thank you for the exceptional six stars review and insightful feedback. I have enough grief in my life to inspire a million poems... well maybe a bit less .... but I think you know what I mean. It's easy to write about what I know. I have a huge crush on an actor and that is inspiring me to write love poems, not this one, fun ones about love, lust, and yearning. I also have some experience on that.
Your reviews are always so on point... you really know what my poems are about.
Big hugs, my friend, may you have a wonderful day.
Gypsy

Great job on this. The verbal imagery is excellent and the whole poem presents well. Pace and flow are perfect as well as word choice. I see nothing to correct or improve; great just how you wrote it!
Outstanding work!

Comment from royowen
I like the way you described the "choppiness" of the western interpretation of Japanese tanka, one doesn't need the regimentation of a strict word count to produce a meaningful poem, well done my friend, blessings Roy

Comment from barbara.wilkey
This poem is mysteriously written. I pause wondering why the blood. I understand the dying love, but... I can't help but focus on the blood, her blood, his blood, or just a metaphor. I prefer to believe it's a metaphor, so no blood was shed.

It's a poetic metaphor. Some feelings are very raw and we find hard to put them on paper. You know, you are a writer. that the woman is writing with her blood gives you and idea how much pain she is going through.
Thank you very much, Barbara. I really appreciate that you took the time to read and review my poem.
