I appreciate your prompt very much it's beautifully done, and I enjoyed listening to it. I appreciate your very much it's beautifully done and I am joyed listening to it. Patricia

This was definitely romantic in its truest sense. There was no question that the writer needs this other person to complete them. I love the nautical theme. Especially the breath in my sails line. Very evocative. Gretchen

Following the sun, floating the seas, of course one would find their true love. Why wouldn't they? I enjoyed this complete package and the thoughts surrounding it. Thank you for sharing.

An excellent Tanka presented so beautifully. The image is stunning. It is very romantic, and offers original ways to express love (your breath in my sails suggesting life, motivation, purpose and movement) and the mast suggesting strength and security. Lovely one.

I enjoy reading your romantic Tanka. They are so emotional. I see so many metaphors and similes like "empty boat", "your breath in my sails and your mast".

Well done.

Hi Gypsy, this poem is so interesting. It could be construed as romantic or spiritual--very nice. Your poem reads and flows well and has good sensory appeal. Of special note:

'cause I need your breath in my sails
(We all need someone)

Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

love how you used breath for the sails and the mast of a boat to hold on to. never thought of a mast that way...

i liked the middle line being a little darker than the others - makes it stand out more

nice work - thank you for sharing
shelley :)

Hi MariVal,
the image of your words paint a vivid portrait.

The metaphor you chose to heighten your intent and conclusion is very poetic... and if one keeps their mind out of the gutter and reads the real meaning of the last line... which I have now given myself a good talking to about, then the connection to a salvation is a strong and capable way to conclude this beautiful Tanka.

I must say, I do love this form... and as always, your composition, construction, presentation and colour scheme gel so perfectly to its entirety.

With our thoughts we create...
tradewinds of connection.

Kindest regards,
James.

    Thank you, James, I hope you are well. I appreciate your review and kind words. I know what you mean, some people may think it's sexual but it's about supporting and caring for the one you love, but you know that.

    Gypsy super hugs :)

    No... thank you!
    I am and what I am, but thanks for the hope... hope is a powerful thing, and I'll take that with gratitude.

    Yes, sorry about the flippant remark, I don't know where my mind is today... if you see it anywhere, please let me know, or tell it to go home. And yes, I know exactly what you intended by the support and caring. i
    It is the cornerstone to any connection or relationship... life really!
    So... I hope you are well also.
