Black Lotus

A touch of magic and surrealism in these lines. Loved it, Hiya :)

wow you have a supernatural imagination that takes us away, spectacular poetry Hiya !

The imagery in your tanks is so vivid and such a clever use of words to express what you see... An excellent tanka which uses a great choice or word pairings to give it the right impact, a lot like your butterfly poem.. you describe both so well..

Hello, Hiya Sharma- your play on words paint a crimson image in my dungeons and dragons mind; Calla Lillies the black lotus melts when a cheery soul is about to die - love this imagery Good Luck - Stay Safe too! Perry C.

A truly powerful new creation my friend. Imagery that casts darkness in a devilish blacken glow. Such to be there in such a short piece takes true poetic talent. A fav.. God bless you.

Hello, Hiya! Your ability to craft words in a breathtakingly poetic manner never fails to astound me. The emotions that effortlessly flow through each line are so profound that only those with profound intellect can truly understand and appreciate them. It explores the profound subject of death, with souls delicately adorned in graceful petals, presenting an original and profoundly creative perspective.

Whoa!! I wonder where this soul went? I get the impression not to the good place of rest. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

How beautifully poetic a poem, Hiya! Confessions of death--souls draped in lithe petals--original, deeply creative!

Your tankas are always so beautiful and deep and depicts so much in few glistening words that would take readers mind away to a place so vast. How sanguine souls melt , in confessions such as death, you’ve conveyed that so well here. I also loved “ flames of crimson” and that last line “ black gold lines lotus” whoa! You amaze me with the way you weave words in such sheer poetic eloquence. Anyone with a deep mind can comprehend the emotions flowing through those lines seamlessly. Loved it!
