Hi there!
I liked this poem. It has
depth and solidarity.
I liked how you also ended it on a dry but powerful note
of the theme of ecstacy. Great writer's
know how to this keenly.
Excellent job!

I enjoyed reading your Tanka poem and in counting the syllables found you have them completed correctly. J am unsure about the "X" but I imagine it can be counted as a syllable. I haven't mastered this type of poetry yet so I am glad to be able to read yours. Good job.

Excellent images in this poem in which the verses gives a beautiful image about a bawler taking with his hand the bawling ball and with rapid walking movements release it, throwing it to strike the bawls. I liked it very much. But  I have not six stars.

    Thank you, Jenny, for reviewing this. The X is suppose to stand for the mark on a score sheet associated with a STRIKE. It also is supposed to be suggestive. It seems to have guttered in both regards.

    Sorry Bill I did get that but I'm letting my muse review today and Rick O'Shea is being obtuse. My muse is a single celled irish cantankerous bouncer. I've tried to get him fired but no dice....
