Thus is a Tanka Contest Entree rich in Theme and imagery.
It flowed well and read well with no grammar issues as well.
Adjective Content was aligned well with Objective Content and Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
Good luck with this.

I think this is a cute entry for the 'Tanka Poem' writing prompt.
Well told with a clear message in your few well chosen words. Very true.
Good luck to you with this in the competition.

A very well-written Tanka. We do not have much to do to receive the everlasting life for our souls. The requirement is to have faith, love God and our neighbors as we love ourselves.

We have to view this life as a practice run, or something we must endure in the hope of something better. I think that cheapens it, but that's just a personal opinion, of course :) Thanks for continuing to review my poems, Sandra :) Cheers, Craig
