Nicely done ekphrasic poem. This tanka describes the scene in the artwork well.
Not one person is interacting with each other. Not even the father and son.
Have a great day.

I am not getting notifications from your writings anymore. I assume you weren't writing. I've been off/on while sitting in hospital with Keston. This reads well and that image, divine. Your words read smooth and share a story that is clear with or without the accompanying image. I am always amazed by your work. Well done. Clean, concise tanka with solid syllabic count. Image is stellar to boot!

    So you are Lady Jane. How is Keston doing? I will be reviewing soon now that I feel better but not as much as I did before. Nice to hear from you

I love the color and the hats in this artwork and the visual effect of people bustling, even down to the shadows underneath the stepping feet (very clever) an excellent presentation and Tanka poem****kahpot

Another great pairing of poetry and painting. I love both of them. I think you have the soul of an artist, I think your paintings are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.

    But I think you have good taste because Back of the bus was on the feather magazine. Thanks for the great review

This is a very well written Tanka poem you have penned with very nice imagery of the painting by you called Back of the Bus. You used very good words and very good imagery. blessings, Teri

You are an artist in both mediums. I love the vivid colors and the air of bustle in the painting. Combined with the verse, you have a lovely offering. For some reason the yellow bus makes a striking statement that ties everything together. Great artistic offering.

    Hi meeshu. You can send a book if you want. Is it poetry? I am mostly painting now. I will send you my address in a PM. DO you want me to pay for the book?
reply by meeshu on 23-Feb-2019

How fun! I love all the actions and the way you presented the people in your painting, Pamela! Good "b" word alliteration and I feel like there's an additional meaning to challenge the reader/viewer to look for greater things that are behind the obvious.
