Thirst of Tanka

beneath glass stars
where dew of forest thirsts twice,
            a sea of roses --
reflects our kisses fueled 
            by night’s hunger; we  both burn

wow, another amazing one. I see this was back in April and that you had entered it into a tanka contest?? MY goodness, didn't it even get on the winner list? If not, that is a travesty!!
