I loved your Tanka. The photo was exquisite and complimented your poem. The last rays of the sun, cranky clouds, this time of day is wonderful, peaceful. All the critters getting ready for bed. You sitting on the porch watching the sun disappear behind the clouds. Great writing. K xx

I like the alliteration and the personification in your short poem. The golden afternoons join the beginning and ending parts of the tanka quite well. The picture goes well with your words. Blessings. Carol

Comment from Debbie Pope
That is lovely, my Tanka lady. Am I the only reviewer who calls you that. I like the looseness of this tanka. You use lazy words like your theme. The personification works beautifully. I like your sunbeams that sip and your grumpy thunderclouds that flee.
Nicely done.

Hello sweet Debbie. Thanks so much. I like it that you identify me with Tankas... so fun!! I have been writing for contests lately and it was fun to pick my on genre with this one. Hugs, dear friend.

Comment from Regina Elliott
A beauteous tanka, Sugarray.
I feel after-storm poetry is
so, well, poetic. I don't see
anywhere if it's in a contest.
No matter, we don't always
write for contests. Sometimes it may be more
enjoyable to write just for
ourselves. Many blessings
