Hi Marival
These are very colorful tankas that describe the transition from night into day. You chose good artwork. I like the personification of dew
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a wonderful weekend.

I am wondering what is going on that needs to hide behind Daylight. It's hard to do but not impossible. Once again, your poem and presentation are perfect.

    It's personification of dawn and creates a visual imagery. It's emotions not to be taken literally.

    Thank you very much for your exceptional six stars review and kind words.

    Have a great day!

This double tanka, Dawn Dewdrops, has the proper formatting and allows that the morning is always glorious, even though it is blocked by the occasional clouds.

Damn, Gypsy, this made me stop and pause. It was quite moving and I love how in sync i felt with the dawn. There is something about those transitional moments during the day. I really felt this one. It was excellent but I'm out of sixes. Gretchen

It's pretty hard to hide in the daylight, and so things have found away to do it, but the night can certainly hide the blemishes on our skiing, and age betrays us, beautifully written, blessings Roy

I love the last stanza. I hope it's called a stanza, I'm not sure. I like that it doesn't rhyme. I think it's more beautiful that way. I may ruffle feathers, but I think you are probably the most talented poet here. I know you hear that all the time, but I've read so many of your poems, which always elicit strong feelings. Thanks.

    Eean, I'm happy you like it and free verse is one of my favorite forms. I also love Japanese poetry which is always free verse but with rules of syllables count and strong imagery.

    These paire of stanzas are a Japanese poetic form called Tanka. If you are interested to learn, I have a club.

    Thank you very much for your excellent five stars review and kind words.

    Have a great day!

    I thank you just to read. I'm in two clubs already and can't find time to write for them.

Stunning words, I love this it had a musical and magical tone to it. The first line is my favourite, what a wonderful way to describe dew drops. Beautiful presentation and colour and images to compliment to stunning words.
Best Wishes

I like your words and the personification of the dawn crying as the clouds hide the moon and stars. You illustrate and present your poetry in such a beautiful way.

Gypsy,
A beautiful Tanka. I really like the "dawn that cries...grief, giving your poem a sad, yet lovely personification.
A wonderful poem, Gypsy.
Beautifully written.
Best wishes,
Cindy
