Pues si señora. Los sueños son siempre asi. I can understand why you wished to go living in California. You had family there, after all.
Your beautiful Tanka says it all. Un abrazo, Ulla xx

I expect these poppies grow in the north of Spain and your dreams take you there occasionally. I adore Spain, the people, the culture and the warm spirited scenery. Your memories are keen and I loved your ambient poem, love Dolly x

I've traveled extensively in my younger days. Spain, Greece and the Scandinavian countries are the ones that I quite wanted to see but sadly, never made it. I doubt I will now, but your beautiful poem is inspiring.

Happy New Year Lady Gypsy! I see you are still doing beautiful work. Your text is a great size. Your message is always stated clearly. You-+`r presentation is impeccable~ per usual. I always love your double visuals. I have noticed another poet doing it too, but you Lady G. are my favorite. You have a distinctive style of writing. I didn't know you grew up in Spain. You have led an interesting life. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much, Ms Sandy. It's so good to hear from you. I missed you.

    Somebody asked me how to embed pictures, I guess he learned. Do you know his name?

As in each of your posts, this is lovely in presentation and verse, Gypsy.
I've been on and reviewing in fifteen minute increments since my fall and have missed more than I've caught. Sorry for that, and thank you for bringing a smile to my lips today!

I remember seeing the fields of poppies while living in Germany. They were gorgeous as is your poem and the photograph you shared with us. Of course, when I see poppies, I always think of the 'In Flanders Field'.

    I haven't watched Flanders Field. Were you in the Army? or did you live in Germany as a civilian? I love poppies. I played with them when I was a little girl. Our poppies are always red. In California, we have yellow poppies.

    I am glad you like this poem, thank you very much for your kind review.

    My husband was active Army. We did two different tours of Germany for a total of 8 years. While there we took the advantage of visiting the rest of Europe.

    Oh, how lucky. I would love to travel through Europe. Did you learn German? I guess if you stay in the base you don't have to. I married a seargent in the airforce after he retired.

    I learned enough German to get by. Not necessarily fluent.

I have been away from this website. However, I do miss reading your poetry, your generous spirit of sharing and your "invitational" teaching. I love writing haiku but now I must learn Tanka. Your explanations always have food for thought. Thank you for your generosity.

    Thank you very much, Michael. I am happy you came back. I was absent for two years due to health problems and I came back in 2019. I appreciate the exceptional six stars review and kind words.

The six stars are for everything you write.
In this case, I love the poem, the presentation and the mention of poppies.
I'd also love to live in the States or England. Any English-speaking country really.
Thanks for sharing.

O h yes, I can remember when I was a boy in England, the countryside was lush, and the happiness of living in a beautiful country was a privilege, and then we moved to Australia, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy
