Dear Beata, I'm so sorry about your dad. It's hard losing anyone, but especially our parents. Congratulations on First Place! ~Ann

One of your best poems I have seen in any of my contests, Beata. A very well written and poignant tanka. Congrats. I am sure your Dad looks down on you fondly this Christmas.
