This one stings quietly--elegant, eerie, and deeply felt. “Like hanged tresses” is such a vivid, haunting image. You distilled grief and bloom into three sharp lines. Chilling and beautiful.

Ah.... purple is my favourite colour and you've done it proud with this beautiful piece. Nature thanks you ;) and so do I. Thank you for your visits to my work. Sorry I haven't responded. Not doing too well. Hope to be back when I'm better.

The shorter the poem, the harder it is to convey depth of imagery but you have suceeded here with ease Paige. Well done. Cheers - Gary

Very pretty. Her rules for this different version of than-bak might be different from how you did it. But maybe I am the one who didn't understand them!

I did it her way in my other Than-Bauk "Seaside Turn"- check that one out. Thanks for all your kindness my friend. :)

So9 descriptive, Paige, embracing the beauty of lilacs and the sadness when they are gone! Lilacs are one of my very favorite flowers. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

Your Than-Bauk is excellent. In such a short poem, you described lilacs well.

Dear Paige, your vivid imagery is as beautiful as the lilacs themselves. Splendid poetry my dear poet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
