Roses For Jenny

Jennifer Ellen, the second-born after me, lacks confidence and cannot seem to realize that she is second to none! Always caring for her sisters, who are living far away from her, Jenny longs for family; her pangs are the sharpest felt. The sister I’ve grown closer to though we’re apart - the one of the four who thrills to my poetry - has become my champion. Roses for Jenny - loved by family and all whose lives she touches. She is more than a sister; She is a friend forever. For Frank Herrera's My Valentine Poem to You. Poetry Contest

I love that name, Jenny. I had an Aunt Jenny who was a sweetheart. Sounds like your Jenny is the sweetest Jenny of all. Strange - my two favorite female actors - not that they are so gifted - are both Jennies, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez. These two may not be saintly, but they have...ahhummm...other qualities. LOve, daver

Ha ha, yes, now you've got it, perfect! You did very well changing the last two lines to fit the Form! I think they might be better than what you had before! I really like the Tanka's, especially now that they are complete! I love it Andrea! Congrats in a job well done! Awesome Work!!

I'm so glad to see you go out there are write some Tanka's! All stanza's look great, just what happened at the very end?! It's like you ran out of steam, ha ha! It doesn't matter, the poem is a success to me, I really enjoyed it! Yay, you have a least one sister that likes your work! I love your work!! You are quite close to your sister I can tell! My sister and I are fairly close...unfortunately she think my poetry is funny, so I don't share that with her much! Awesome awesome tanka's Andrea!!
