Hello Val Crisson
May I have a slice of the apple pie that you described so well in your five star Japanese tanka, with, with 22 syllables.

I love the thought of blossoms turning into juicy apples to eat and ultimately we are served this wonderful dessert! The pie looks yummy and I enjoyed your sweet fruity words here Val, love Dolly x

"Apple Pie"
Is a Tanka Poetry Contest Entry.
Rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks,
And good luck with this.

Apple Pie is simple and straight forward. It states that apples will come and they will be made into a pie and then you just assume from that point on they will be eaten. Very cute.

    Thank you - "very cute" is what I am after. I wanted to get away from the stogy tanka.

Yeah, the blossoms are the beginning. They give us hope for a fruitful harvest. Apple pie is just about my favorite. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Great job and well done!

Your tanka fits the abbreviated format and calls to mind the apple season and the anticipation of all those apple treats warm from the oven! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)

-You are lighting up
my mailbox, Val, and
tempting me with apple pie
that looks delicious.
-A well written tanka
with effective imagery
and alliteration in the
opening lines.
-A good pivot line and
very good concluding lines.
-I like how you combine the
idea of spring blossoms being
ready for a baked apple pie.
-Good luck in the contest.

    I am thrilled someone out knows what a tanka should be set up like. LOL This is a great review, and thank for catching my slip up earlier. I wanted to do something different from the usual "stogy" tanka, and glad us liked it.
