Comment from Mark Schardine
We can scarcely imagine the disappointment, obviously the loss her, but also for him. She had much to offer, and he seemed not to notice anything important.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
This poem reminds us how we would feel if our prom date would not show. I am sure the Kleenex would come in handy, dried petal flowers would get dry and fall off the stem while the dress would hang in the closet, not worn.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Gypsy, this poem is quite heartfelt and filled with vivid imagery. I could see the dress and the flower petals upon the floor. Your poem reads and flows well and has good sensory appeal. Of special note:
dried petals scattered on the floor
(very sad, indeed.)
Great photo choice. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

What a very sad tanka this, perfectly aimed at one of the reasons for its existence, the source and motivation for which it was created, beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

What a wonderful modern tanka, Gypsy. Your words were oh so true, they spoke of loss, a true loss. Nothing but a few dried petals. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!! The pictures were beautiful.

A perfect response for this prompt, Gypsy. It definitely presents an emotional moment that shouts disappointment and hurt. Great job on the presentation of this modern tanka!!

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I am guessing from the artwork that the night planned didn't go as expected with the loved one not showing up. But then I'm wondering if she was waiting for someone wouldn't she have been already dressed. Hmm. I need to think about that.

My intention was a story in a poem about a man waiting for his love but she doesn't show up... permanently. But with Japanese poetry, you imagine what you may, there is no right or wrong answer.
Thank you very much, Barbara. Have a wonderful day.

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This lovely tanka carries forth the symbolism of being "untouched" beautifully, dried petals on the floor, the final perfect touch. Sadness permeates this poem.
