Oh I loved this Tanka, Marival, Amiga Mia.. it's beautifully written and a joy to read your pivot line is hard to find as one part flows into the next. Just as it should be. Besitos, Ulla xx

Dawn is my favorite time of the day. I am pretty sure it's the most special part of the day. Love would bloom at that time of day. Thank you for sharing this special package with us.

This is stunning. A regal Tanka of unique beauty and appeal. It's haunting in imagery and verbiage and the presentation id outstanding.

Nice presentation. You have such a great way of displaying your images and poetry. When a person starts writing, we always ponder on the
the theme of the poem. It looks like yours come natural for you.

Skilful, atmospheric tanka verse beautifully presented with good depth of emotion and meaning. You're safely within the syllable count and your transition within this limited verse form is smooth and flowing. Well done! Take care, Debbie

This is a lovely tanka poem which makes the love bloom like a sun rise. And your choice of pictures and font colors give the reader the sense of the growing love. Nice use of metaphor, too!

Gypsy, I enjoy any poem that quotes a line from B. Dylan despite not fully grasping the intended meaning behind the words. What is the object of your affection in this poem? If I was to read this without the accompanying photos I'd say this is a poem about a lover leaving in the morning, his/her leaving makes you sad but it also makes you recognize how much you care for this person. Am I on the right track?

    Yes, you are right, it's a love poem, most tanka poems are. I was thinking about Bob Dylan song, so you are right again. There is something about that's very poetic. I love his music, he is not just a singer, he is a poet, probably the best one of our generation.

    Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
