I know little of poetry forms. So I look for words that inspire, calm me, of give me a sense of calm and beauty.
This tanka prose seems to calm me, let me join you in a moment of solstice.
Very beautifully written.
Regards
Mary

Wonderful Tanka poetry. Well chosen words in prose and poetry that flow well. You have made it feel that being isolated doesn't mean loneliness but feeling comfortable and peaceful with yourself amongst the surrounding lush green vegetation. Good luck in the contest!

I wish I had a six for it. Thank you for introducing me to Tanka Prose. Fabulously done, with imagery, visuals and an award winning presentation.

Much enjoyed, thank you very much for sharing.

This is a very lovely, skillfully-written piece, both prose and poetry. You have described a paradise-like place of peace and comfort, where nature
blesses and engenders a feeling of satisfaction.

You did a great job with this tank/prose style, Gypsy. Your prose selection reads well with great descriptions. You adhered nicely to the rules of the prose writing. Your tanka flows smoothly with great imagery of the final destination. Together both work well. I enjoyed reading your poem. I can see this as a prompt in your club. I did not know one could utilize prose and tanka together.
Respectfully, Jan

    Hello, Jan. It's not a promo for our club. It's my first one. I just found out about it. I was thinking about using it for our next event.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.

I travelled once to the Maldives and it took hours to get there and we arrived late at night, in the morning when I woke I was in paradise, it was an amazingly tranquil and natural place, but the mosquitoes were something else! Your poem reminded me of these wonderful islands, love Dolly x

This is a most serene tanka prose poem. Emerald green is my most favourite colour, and this unique place you have so vividly described sounds like a place to be.

Very, very well done. :))
