Tim, Awesome Tanka Tears win. ~Skat~

I visit cemeteries quite a lot, because I find the history to be so fascinating, and it is sad when I see a gravesite not being taken care of. No one is really gone if we remember them. To be forgotten on earth, is to be truly dead... A somber poem, but also a reassuring and comforting one. Beautifully written, Tim!

Congratulations on your win. Well expressed Blessings Eve

Dropping back with my congratulations:-) Hugs Jan xx

Tim, congrats on being one of several HMs . there was only one winner in this contest. Seems so odd to me!!! anyway, i had really admired this one~

Tim, such powerful words that bring to mind the image of that sign with its blankness of identity...I felt the pain in my heart. Best wishes for the contest. Sandra

wow, Tim, this is one of the best I have seen in that tanka contest. I really have to get on the ball and get mine done for this. I love how the last line puts it all in perspective.

Stunning! The last line is perfect. None of us are nameless with God.

I like how you brought to our attention this nameless and forgotten grave, Tim. Very good poem with a subjective pivot and a lovely ending. #7 // paul
