This is a cute picture and a good ekphrastic poem to go with it. It does look like this baby penguin is dancing.
Hope your Christmas was a great one.
Hope you heal quickly and are able to type painlessly soon

Enjoyed reading your work. Your humor and personality seem to be shining through. Tanka is not an easy form to write. Your words and images are precise and clear. I love your artwork which is the perfect complement to your words. Hope your neck procedure goes well.

Very cute poem, with an educational bonus. The only flappers I was aware of was those dizzy gals in the 1920's. Now I nw about that new dance.
I'm sorry to hear about your neck, Pam. May you be sticking it out again soon!

-I think this is one of
your best paintings, Pam.
-It is really cute.
-Sorry to hear about
your neck, but good wishes
and thoughts are being sent your way.
-You have written a good tanka
with effective opening lines,
and a good pivot line.
-I also like how you use
personification, and the
concluding lines are very good, too.
-Take care, and be well.

Awe... Christmas time, a time to dance, a time to be with family and teach the little ones how to belong into the crazy family. This is cute, thanks for sharing.

I am so sorry to hear about your neck pain. Please do whatever you have to do to get well. Neck and spinal pain is horrible!
Loved reading your cute penguin poem about that little feathered dancer! Big hugs, Janet

What an endearing little character you have created in this baby emperor penguin. It is fun to imagine him dancing around enjoying the snowflakes as his backdrop and partners in the dance.
I hope you recover soon. Have a happy holiday.

I am sorry about your neck - I had two vertebraes fused also - right at top of neck - wearing that brace for weeks gave me a new appreciation of freedom - but the bad pain was gone, thank the Lord.
Cute poem - I love the image of the flapping wings. I pray your surgery goes well.
