Beautiful! the butterfly...a wonderful representation of new birth, new life out of being just a 'worm'. Oh the miracle of being born again. |

Just as I knew it would be. The graphic will not load for some reason but as I have been saying all along.......your words don't need them as they bring out the beauty all on their own. Beautiful verse of the Queen of the sky presented by the Queen of Tanka. Loved it my beautiful friend. |

Charisma, Beautiful write, I love your Tankas. How can a butterfly be tranquillising though, all that darting about *S*, it's worse than the tennis. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Vas: yes it is a mirakel, and I can enjoy these circle of new birth Krawdad: thank you for your kind reply Mark: oh Mark, thank you for your compliment, but me a Queen... don't think so, guess that there are a lot poets with amazing magic words. but I do love the tanka form, that's maybe the secret, my friend ethome: thank you my friend, for your lovely compliment so glad that you liked it. Beki: thank you Beki, and hey.....this girl doesn't know if she is a queen too, hehehe, don't feel me that way.....and love some competion, so will look forwards for yours....knowing that your haiku are always more than excellent. Kethry: thank you for your nice reply, dont you think that a butterfly can be tranquilizing....well they can be busy with darting, but when you just sit in your garden and watch these lovely creatures playing around, it always give me a warm and peaceable feeling, and don't you watch them as they sit on a flower and spread their wings, showing their wonderful colors....yeah for me tranquilizing though. |
