This work has reached the exceptional level

This combination of picture and words is a real joy for the reader, who sees this remarkable expression of a happy relationship, one that once begun, will continue.

You have painted a vivid image and strongly felt emotions with words. Your talent shines through with this poem. The poem is beautiful as is th artwork which makes for a perfect presentation.

Your painting of the picture is said in the poem and images. Very lovely romantic poem. I love to write but somehow, they always put me into a battle of competition. I'm not writing for that reason, are you?

    I don't compare my writing to anyone... what a waste of time. I barely have enough to write poems, manage my 3 clubs, add graphic art, and review.

A lovely suite of Tankas, Gypsy. As your notes say, the verse is charged with emotion. The beauty of the presentation also supports a sympathetic feel to the words and flow. I enjoyed it.

I felt like this was silken strips, sliding across each other and you think they will tangle and pull taut, but they keep moving. This was a beautiful poem. Loved the imagery through out. Gretchen

I enjoyed your potent use of imagery here to describe the intimacy of this union and your artwork accompanies it beautifully. I also like the variety of senses you employ here. Lovely writing! :)

Nobody describes the beauty of love like you do, my friend.

The illustrative nature of your mind really is quite beautiful.

Thank you for sharing.
