Ann, thank you so much! There is no greater compliment than to know one's poem encourages another poet to read again! What a marvelous gift! The summer moons are just intoxicating to me. I am so glad that feeling of magic came through the lines. Hope you are doing well. Blessings! Happy Father's Day to your family!

Dearest Rhyme Time Friend, your words are like lovely pearls of luminescent moonlight - treasured gems and joy to my heart! Thank you for that gift that I hold close to my heart and for your congratulations! They mean so much to me like the happiness of the summer's first moon. Often I wonder about the impact of a tanka or haiku with their brevity of expression. It's gratifying to know the impact of these lines came through! Sending you blessings of a sweet strawberry moon poetry sis!
