Lea,
This is a great Tanka poem. It flows nicely from beginning to end. The picture compliments the poem nicely.
Well done and good luck in the contest

You're welcome
Comment from Peter Jarvis
Your tanka is hauntingly beautiful, capturing a sense of melancholy and introspection. The imagery of the "exhausted moon's light" and the "cradled living arms" evokes a deep emotional resonance. The contrast between the night orb and the tree, along with the themes of pretended reassurance and inevitable destiny, adds a profound layer of meaning to your poem.
Thank you for sharing this evocative piece. Your use of vivid imagery and poignant themes is truly impactful.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Lea.
-A good topic and effective imagery describing
the moon cradled by the tree branches.
-Good opening lines also establish the premise.
-A good pivot line with personification, followed
by good concluding lines about the moon and the tree.
-It's like a mini fable.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Such an eerie, otherworldly pic here, Lea! I like the way you personify the tree and its "living arms" that appear to embrace the moon with longing. The two are finally united in the sleep of night. Imaginatively and hauntingly written and a very worthy contender for the contest. One small edit - we(e)ps. Well done, Lea, and good luck! Debbie
