I like how colorfully you presented this love poem in tanka form.
Naturally you chose a shade of blue because it's in your name! And blue is symbolic of the divine and heaven.

How lovely. A wonderful expression of love in this well written short poem. I've tried this form of poetry in the past, unsuccessfully. Thanks for sharing yours.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if love flowed as easily and beautifully as your poetic package. The poem, the artwork, and the colors used make this a perfect package. Thank you.

Gypsy, thank you so much for your notes and what they teach us about Japanese poetry forms. They lead us to appreciate even more poems like this one, presented with beautiful imagery and feeling.

Hi Gypsy Queen,
what can I say about your stunning presentation that has not already been articulated? Words reflect an image that is mirrored through the art of desire. How can one not be dragged into the vortex of its beauty?

Even though you only ever refer once to the colour blue, it is all I see, or feel while reading it... you magnify its appearance so artful and cleverly within your applications.

I feel the emotion in reading these words in a deeper sense... but then again, I love romance and everything it stands for. I guess it's an escape mechanism to allow the mind to be somewhere so pleasant, it can't help but be in a happy place. Aaahhhhhhhh!

Truly exceptional!

With our thoughts we create...
a meeting of ourselves.

Warm regards,
James.

    Thank you, James, it's so good to hear from you. You know blue is my favorite color. I was looking through my pinterest page and found the picture and the poem flowed out of my easily.

    May you have a wonderful day, my friend.

    Abracitos y besitos,

The colour blue is associated with sky and sea and open spaces, intuition, imagination and freedom. It has a depth of meaning in trust and sincerity, faith and inspiration, so losing yourself inside this colour is understandable here, love Dolly x

Sigh. If only love flowed as smoothly and presented so consistently beautifully as your tanka! At this point in my life that idea seems far-fetched...

Love this, though!

Cerulean...nice!

    Thank you, Karenina. I like to think we are not too old for romance. (*÷*)

    Not to old for romance...perhaps to wise to believe in "happily ever afters!"

    (I'll just speak for myself)

I do love the symbolism of the blue lotus highlighted in this tanka. Purity rising out of the muddy waters to open her heart to the sun. From the mundane to the heavenly. A cerulean beauty inside and out.
