Comment from Minglement
Excellent choice of words and poem form to convey this eerie feeling. I think you definitely made your tanka pivot with the dawning light. Well done. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from chita
You have great artwork and your arthor notes are superb--you have a good flow with your poem--you write about how from the dead spectrums comes a new day and light overcomes the dark-great job.

Hi Anne, wow, thank you. You are so positive, and always encouraging me to keep at it, for which I am so grateful! It's neat that you are taking a class, I wish I could afford it. What fun. Thanks Anne, you're the best. ") Susan
Comment from Trybuck
From a novice point of view, the shift came in the third line but there was a definite change. I would say very well done as is but since it is a contest entry, I would seek the advice from someone that knows.
Well done, Buck

Hi Buck! Thanks! I am not sure of what I am doing, but tried to follow what AlvinTEthington said? He is a good poet to learn from too! I sure appreciate your time to let me know your thoughts Buck!! GOOD to hear from you!! Susan
Comment from Triple P
Very nice. The last two lines work well with the third and its 'shift' from the first two. I know next to nothing about Tanka poems, but this one is wonderful. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Realist101,
A most interesting Tanka. It reads and flows well and I have no suggestion for improvement. I particularly liked the following lines:
Light of morning shines anew
Bidding darkened dreams, "adieu" ...
(hope for the future)
Regards, LateBloomer

Hi Bloomer!! Thank you! I was thinking, those in Purgatory can come into the lightm, or something? It's a fun style, I hope you will try it too! Thank you for being so kind and encouraging too!! ") Susan
Comment from psalmist
I am not sure of the exact format myself, but I really like your poem. You start out eerie, haunting, then end on a positive note: morning dispels the darkness. Great job.

Comment from missy98writer
Susan,
wow, this is the best Tanka poem I've ever read. I wish I had a well deserved six stars to give you, but I'm flat out so I have to reluctantly give you a "Virtual Six." Your art work is perfection with the ghost of a lady in white. Your Tanks is in perfect form and syllable count. Brilliant use of alliteration and metaphors such as spectral shadows shift, comes a new day, morning shines anew and bidding darkened dreams. Your Tanks poem is an awesome entry in the contest. Good luck to you in the contest. It was a delight to read your wonderful writing. Have a nice weekend.
Melissa.

There's no way I can tell you it your tanka is correct or not. I am not a poet, but I did enjoy reading it and I thought there was a pivot.
