The saddest one is...Rosemary, these are wonderful. The saddest one is written about being four and refusing the last hug. I can understand how hard it would be for a four-year-old plus understand why that memory would live with you always.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-39893977453512008462011-10-02T10:21:19.238+11:002011-10-02T10:21:19.238+11:00I loved these glimpses, Rosemary.

I'm glad you enjoyed these pieces. I write at least one tanka a week for the facebook Tanka on Tuesday group and then put them all here in one post at the end of each month. Sometimes, as with the geranium etc. verses, I make a whole poem our of individual tanka.<br /><br />Tinkwellborn, the one about being a brand new Mum was not meant to imply anything sad. I said that at this time 44 years ago, I HAD BEEN a brand new Mum a whole day; I wasn't meaning to suggest that it had stopped. If so, I would have written, 'I WAS a brand new Mum / for just one day'. So please be happy, not sad about that one! It was meant to be celebratory. (Of course, some others are sad or scary.)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313195297275159246.post-40438468639761606782011-10-02T05:32:31.708+11:002011-10-02T05:32:31.708+11:00so full of emotion (good and bad ems)…

I love your poem.

I love the tanka form, but have never been able to pull power from them such as you have here with each and every one.
