Oh, how your poem perfectly captures the pain of the picture. I love your verb choices - engulf, stole, fade. The contrast between death and dark to living, life, happiness. The absence of the one brings the other.

Hello
Your poem certainly fits the theme for the contest.

It's full of grief, tangible and heartbreaking.

You have used hear words and the spareness and brevity works very well. What more can be sad when grief lies so deep?

Good luck in the contest

This is a poignant and powerful entry for the emotions contest. The loss of a spouse brings unfathomable grief just as you describe it. I hope you find, or have found, light again. It is possible. Take care and good luck in the contest.

The words match the sculpture. . .they work beautifully together and express the emotions, almost without the words. There are no words wasted in this poem. Nice job.

A very well-written Tanka about grief that is taking over our souls and our whole life becomes part of constant darkness when we lost a loving spouse to death.

This is a well written tanka poem perfect for the feelings poetry contest. You have vividly described a feeling of loss. I don't know if you are the subject or not, but if so, I'm sorry for your loss.
