Sad Song -Tanka

Very well written!

How beautiful! lost for words! // paul

It is a sad thing when our relationships seem like they only last from sunset to sunrise. A short time to love seems even shorter when love is nonexistent...A very deep, emotional poem which I loved to read! Sad poems are the only ones that seem real to me. Great work!...Thank you for the kind comments. They are very encouraging to me! :)

''Sunset Drunken Light'', love that phrase my dear.

Good morning Mistress. Just visiting to know how you and yours are doing? Have a great day. AO

A heartfelt write. Very emotional and unique. Well done PD. AO

Sad tale indeed, PD. Good imagery, emotion and contrast here.

Awesome read. Betty

This poem shimmers, I love it.

This was absolutely powerful and amazing. Sometimes circumstances in our life sadden us so much we just want to sleep it all away... I thought this poem was very cleverly written, very few words but it evoked a tone of emotions inside. I am loving your lines. Gottah read some more of yours. Always, Laura

another of yours i have not seen yet,,, just love this,

The element of Time, haha, you can escape it. I guess many moons passed,as my native american ancestors would say, between these solar phenomena, but we always remember the details. It was a sunrise, and a sunset, the perfect summation of irony. Nice poem.

This one is a great entry to the 2-in-1 contest and congrats for winning. The poem tells us that there are always two sides to a story. (^_^)
