Hi Amada,

I do like your Tanka. Your selected artwork (I like to use Cleo too!) and author's notes are just bonus attributes for your contest entry. Pleased this morning glimpse provided you inspiration for all of us to review.

Editorial comment: your ending period is unnecessary. IMHO your presentation would have an added punch if you increased your text size. Bolding your text is another option. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of italic script. Methinks it can be difficult to read.

Your tanka is excellent in every respect. It vividly describes one specific, brief but powerful experience provided, just for you it seems, by nature.
Very lovely

Hello amada!
Such beautiful imagery is found in your well-crafted tanka. I so appreciate how a moment in your own life translated into the imagery and poetic offering presented.
One observation: You employ the word "fresh" twice. I am wondering if "new" or another suitable word could be employed?

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

Your poem is a delight to read, alongside your author's notes. The early morning light bursting through your curtains, enveloping you, and warming your heart. That you felt something that special, it could only be for you. Really lovely Tanka. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra

A delightful poem expressing the effect of daylight once we open our eyes in the morning. It makes us realize our truths. Of what we can't see in the dark. Beautiful use of words. Good luck!

Light and dark dancing on the surface of the water: "radiant dawning

darts through my drowsy window

fresh beam in my dust

to each dark bend gives fresh light

along with its moonbeam leap." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and with the contest.
