Summer Reflections

I could feel the fireworks on the fourth of July as I read this tanka, Dear Kim! Lovely!

Dear Kim,, this is beautifully evocative! the way you’ve captured the essence of a moment with such vivid imagery — the glass, the stripes, the colors — it all paints a picture that feels both personal and patriotic. I love the contrast between the reflection and the silhouette, it gives such depth to the scene....Hugs

Woww, sweet Kim! This tanka is absolutely mesmerizing and beautiful in every way, you've woven all the words in such an exquisite combination! "Merlot reflections" I could actually visualise them and the "muted-purple silhouette" how profound and intriguing is that! I really love the title as well, so serene! Enjoyed reading this as always, sending you light and many best wishes, dear poetess :)

That was such a cool phrase. Prolonged sips. The middle line really rocks too.

How delightfully festive and lovely! It's more than reason enough to stay in the moment. ;)

Some fireworks too I guess, Nice write

Beautiful and exquisite tanka! I love your word choices and how it flows and how well youv presented your poem in such an elegant manner! Summer reflections so eloquently delivered! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light

Through a looking glass - patriotically! :) gw

Very nice, so peaceful and an eye to the Fourth of July. I loved the peace filled cozy image <3

This is quite an image, perfect for the 4th coming up. So interesting, Kim- and very cool!

- Enjoy in prolonged sips, Kim - A lovely moment :) - hugs

Nicely and interestingly described reflective moment

The imagery is excellent Kim. Interesting view through the wine glass

You had me at merlot, Kim. I like how it sort of resembles the Liberty Bell too. Impressive.
