This was a great tanka, Gypsy. I liked the dual pictures, they were very interesting, of the ocean and the back yard. Your words were simple and direct. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

We are simply a small part of the universe, and the ocean is a great reminder of that. Our past is covered by sand if we don't dig it up again. Your presentation is beautiful.

You write so much, and this is another beautiful one. Love the use of sand for time. Wondered about glass instead of clock, for hour glass which would then half rhyme. But this is gentle and evocative. Such talent. X

I like your modern tanka poem - interesting picture presentation- make me dizzy- suggest - clock covers my past' 5 syllables? Poem has good flow in the single sentence- good job AP

Beautiful words photo and presentation! Time can heal and wash away past pain and your presentation uses personification to say that. Excellent! Another Gypsy Masterpiece!! x

This is very nicely worded, and I enjoyed reading it very much. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Your present things beautifully, and they are challenged when it comes to understanding what you're talking about. Patricia

The great ocean does make us feel small in the vastness of the universe. Also the sands of time covering our past life make us feel so ephemeral in the scope of eternity. Beautiful presentation!
