Hello Nancy,
This is outstanding in my opinion. I like the way you gave emotions or feelings to inanimate objects (for example the drowsy window). Many people do this inadvertantly or without reason, but here we can sense it as a deliberate choice. Beautiful. Love Katherine xx

What a beautiful poem. You have well expressed the feeling of walking up in the morning to the ray of sunshine coming in your window. Any trials or problems that were there yesterday are forgotten, it is a brand new day.

I love this poem. It's meaning is surprisingly versatile, from a physical light to someone being "that person" for you. This is wonderful! The form is lovely and pleasant to read. Thanks for sharing!

This is a nicely written tanka poem. Radiant dawning darts through my drowsy window . fresh beam in my dust. Beautiful photo. Good luck in the contest.

A lovely post, further enhanced by your explanation of the context. I would leave it as it is, no rhyme, as I feel it expresses your thoughts well and clearly, and asks the reader to think of the application. Well done.

A good choice of a picture of this poem. I like the contents of the poem: "radiant dawning darts through my drowsy window, fresh beam in my dust to each dark bend gives new light, it mends my broken center..."

Lights always reflect the bright side of things. I am glad the poem shares that view too

This is a lovely heartfelt poem and I really enjoyed reading it. The artwork is great too, I love how the black and white captures the sparkle in the water. Nice!

The last two lines of your poem were the most powerful for me."
"to each dark bend gives new light
it mends my broken center"
There is allways light even at the darkest hour.

Your words are well-chosen with special meaning for you. However, you expressed that in a way others can appreciate. Good job with the style of tanka. The image is perfect for your poem. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
