Thanks :) I appreciate that, especially since i think that some people are a little put off by some of my melancholy tanka. To me though, poems will not always be full of cheers. You need to be able to convey all emotions...I'm just rambling :D thanks!

No worries, I've always thought tanka were there to capture all emotions too, not just the happy ones.

I, for one, like this very much. Excellent in tone and honesty.

nice, very bleak and truthful.

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot.
