Your use of descriptive words paints a vivid picture of a profound remorse and regret, truly heartbreaking!! On the other hand, this is an exceptional acrostic poem. Best of luck on the contest INK!!

Very honest, and tender. For one who truly loves, truly never forgets -- he/she may move on, but lingers though a memory cloud long passed~ the misty yet rises~ heart's residue seeps deep.

'Withered rose regrets' and 'rain kissed diamond tears'.... such wonderful word play! A world of beauty lies in those phrasal images. Beautiful Tanka dear one. This surely will secure a top place. All the best, dear Empress.
