This sounds like a prayer someone would say on their knees at the side of the bed. It helps me as I am going through a troubled time right now and need all the prayers I can get so I said it out loud and in my head hoping beyond hope that the heavens above hear me.

Well said. You've touched on something we all face on many different levels. Waiting for someone to return, a test result, an answer to multiple questions life throws at us. I appreciate you going to the source of the answers, prayer in a loving, caring God. Thanks for sharing.

An adorable picture. I like the idea of a poem written from the POV of a dog. So pleading and descriptive. So moving. Especially the last line.

This should do very well in the contest, I wish you luck in the booths!

This is a nice piece, though it is definitely tugging on the heartstrings. Great work on this Tanka, I know they're challenging as I tried one myself. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest. Later daze.

This poem is a respectable entry for the Tanka contest. The message is a sincere, almost deperate plea for answers from God. The reader is not sure of the questions. Thanks for sharing.

When those answers don't fit, God can make them. What a wonderfully written poem and I love the picture.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

This is a perfectly written entry for the Tanka Poetry Contest, and the picture you chose would simply melt the heart of anyone with a soul!
Thank you for sharing this piece.
Hope is my saving grace and it is wonderful to be reminded that many others are relying on it as well.
Good luck in the contest.

With Uncertainty
by harmony13

Hello, Harmony,

Beautiful Tanka with classic syllable count. Good connection between lines. It's a little sad. Not getting answers to your prayers Tanka doesn't usually rhyme...unless it happens naturally. Good entry for the Tanka Poetry Contest. Good luck, honey.

Our questions are often left unanswered and I have so many to ask but realise that there will be no answers, so I am content not to ask them, we are sometimes left in ignorance and can only surmise and make judgements based on what we know, a conundrum here, love Dolly x

Hello harmony13
your tanka
With Uncertainty is great with the picture of a cute dog cuddled in a blanket he does look uncertain not knowing what is coming. Good line--
and never knowing the outcome.......
