You present such a lovely image, Upma; these lines make for a worthy Tanka. (noticed Andrea's comment...you still get a #7 from me!) Congrats on your fine win. // paul

I think that "descends" makes more sense :)

Thnx Paul! Had written descends originally but then read at site that last line should give a cutting twist, So changed,, Shud I change as descends more sense obviously ??

Dr. Upma, I wanted to score this one higher, but I think you mean to say "sun descends" instead of "ascends." Isn't it the coming of night? I am really curious about that. Loved the image of the cloud of gulls floating. Congrats in the contest.

Yes Andrea I already know that,, but when I read at site regarding writing of tankas, could not probably rightly construe n changed it ,, my bad!
