The yearning in this tanka is so strong. I can feel it in my being. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and powerful presentation with us. You're an artist painting a masterpiece with words.

Excellent

What a lovely poem, and quite open for interpretation. If we truly want/desire something, we will battle hunger, thirst, and endless difficulties to gain it. This is what I got from your poem, which was such a pleasure to read.

I love the Tanka as well, Marival, and you certainly know how to write them. This sent a chill down my spine, just as you intended.
You write it so effortlessly. UN abrazo, Ullaxx
