Humans should never be among discarded things. We're humans, but some people do treat others as less than human. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I enjoyed reading.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----and except for the kimono, the gender, the nationality, and the fact she has hair, I see myself in the picture and relate to the words!

That feels so sad to be among the "discarded things" which shows how the lover has put no value in the relationship and has abandoned the narrator, leaving her to drift in his unloving coldness.

This was an amazing tanka, Gypsy. I really liked the painting by Ikenaga Yasunari because it was truly sad like your poem. Your words were sad because they showed the sadness of your words. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

One of the best metaphors is water, and the sea is even better, it conjures all sorts of imaginative visions of the mind, and you've written it perfectly Gypsy, well done, blessings Roy

I enjoyed your tanka. I was certainly struck by the image you created in line 2 of the 'discarded things raft' which sets the tone and the reader's expectations for the rest of the poem. It is clear that the discarded thing refer to much more than personal items past their use-by date and that the raft is more likely constructed of past relationships.
I paused a little as you combined drifting with turbulent seas - somehow I associate drifting with more peaceful seas. I wonder if 'to be tossed' might be a better prelude to the coming final line?
