    Wonderful allusion to individuality and commonality combined.
    The wind, coming from a common source, yet acting separately on each person, is the group experience manifested in the individual's creative responses, ie: the poems.
    Great tribute to the club & its members.

    I love that you did this in the Tanka,
    Short but really moving,

    The end of my poem
    "Burnt by our own words
    but reborn with each others"
    holds much true meaning once I read this.

    We are all together in the end, through the club.

    Love you much Meme.

    Oh I love this poem, well done!!!

    Such beauty involved in the words.

    The image of sailing is so gorgeous and sailing together in the same direction, brilliant!

    Very brilliant and straight to point. Short but emphatic. You've said it all 'all together moving to the same destination'. The end perfects it 'like the flowing river'. Your level of thinking is high and mature. I love this tribute to the club, baffling. You rock dear, Mashallah! Hugs.

    Very succinct.

    "Every wind moves
    a different sail"

    We all fall under the power of the wind of community, though we are widespread and differing in many qualities

    "but all
    together moving
    to the same destination"

    This is the essence of commonality - we travel together, apart yet one

    "just like a flowing river"

    The wind on the river - excellent juxtaposition of forces, both of which flow.
