Lovely Chris, you could almost replace to-morrow with two-morrow couldn't you? Loved it! |

When everyone's future can seem uncertain [just watch the news], this is a lovely reaffirmation of one's desire to exist in a loving relationship with another. This is beautiful, Chris, touched by grace as only you can. |

Oh, I love this..what a beautiful, sensuous poem and picture. There is something about fairies in this Tanka, although they are not mentioned in the words. Perhaps it is the mystery of the kiss and the expectation of its mystical thrill that makes me feel that way.....feel warm and good is what this Tanka did to me.....excellent poetry Chris...enjoyed reading it very much.. ______ice ><> |
