Your poem gives my mind a view..somewhere i would love to be. Even short and simple choice of words could bring such beautiful image..guess that's the magic you have. Great write friend.

all the best and take care

Nice tanka. Made me cold just reading it. Nice images of winter.

You have captured well the mood of winter
in this Tanaka..well done!

Cindy, your poem was fabulous in the contest and I was really taken away with it. Your images that you made me think of were beautiful and this poem was a close tie to second just to let you know! :] The flow of the poem was incredible and you seemed to know which words would be most effective in such a small piece! :]

All in all, I was impressed with your poem from start to finish and I am really glad that you gave my competition a try! Hope to see some more tankas by you in the future! Great job and keep writing.

This poem is almost as beautiful as the person that wrote it :] you're a gem hun and so is this wonderful piece. Nice work. Nik

Liked it alot!
