I think this poem is very lovely. It rates a 7 for me. Best of luck in the contest. Now, regarding your Choka contest, I realize you have cancelled the contest, but, I invite you to read, what was to be my entry, it is called, The Journey To Self And Nature. Constance

This is a great way to start my morning reading poetry. I am glad your poetry was among the poetry I have the pleasure to read today. Wishing you a weekend full of love and inspiration Amy. The best to you in the contest. Love, Carol

Thank you for your kind words on my polar bear poem. I am deeply concerned about this species and saw a couple documentaries that had me in tears. (I've been sleeping with a stuffed polar bear for more than a decade.) Love, Carolyn

Beautiful tanka , this will do very well in the contest. BG

I was thinking more along the lines of the thorns about Christ's head- though not from a rose, still thorns all the same. The rose being more symbolic of His people than anything.

Interesting poem here Amy.... I like it.... Good luck in the contest!!!!....:JP]

I like it Amy......Good Luck in the contest....I don't understand this style yet.....but I like it.....Larry

Very clever take on the contest, Amy. They have thorns (as we all do from our past mistakes), but forgiveness is what we long to find. Great interpretation and best wishes for success in the contest. Love, Carolyn

Great write!! I have to try this contest...good luck!!
