Congratulations Nette onyour first place win with this amazing tanka!====Lori

congratulations to you Nette on the fantastic piece and win

See, this IS the sign of a great poet...YOU can write about ANYTHING, even a MERE WEED, and make it phenom poetry! How DO YOU DO IT? Wow. First place horrays for you, Nette. The next time it rains, I will try and find something elegant amongst the mud in my yard. :) Gwendolen

Very nice, Nette! Congratulations on taking first place in Brian's contest! Love, Carolyn

It's so true. A weed will grow, where my pampered flowers will not! They have a strong will to flourish...so perhaps we should let them!! Nicely done!

Congrats Nette luv on a superb first place win for this exciting entry my friend..luv..

Congratulations on your win in the contest of Francine "The View" Nette. Love, Carol

Amazing poem, Nette,....such deep and thoughtful descriptions, rather somber and melancholy...just what a tanka should be!! Congrats!!

CONGRATS NETTE LUV ON SECOND PLACE WIN WITH THESE LOVELY LINES OF TANKA MY FRIEND..SWEET..

congrats Nette on your second place win with this lovely entry

wow! stopping by your work this night... excellent write,..p.d.

you, my dear, are a true artist sans paint...just words that "flourish as a newborn weed" i have a poem very similar to this, but if you've noticed the title on the outside has nil to do with the actual poem..makes it nearly impossible to find, but perhaps i'm better off because you write fluently, i write haphazardly and try to reflect the simple perfection of your words....cudoes my friend ~free cee!~

Lovely Tanka as per are all of your writings..good luck on contest....with love....old Jack

What a wonderful description of your yard! I particularly enjoyed the line, "a newborn weed flourishes" very funny nette!! You'll do well in the contest!!

brilliant nette, can relate to this wonderful poem. Harry

exotic view of your yard Nette luv and so much rain has set the scene for so many places around the World my friend.. great idea for this write ..good luck in the contest luv... am enjoying this view too...s.m.luv..

Your pen paints the scene for us, Always professional to the last letter. Another exceptional write. I see a book waiting to be printed me thinks.
