blackthorn's blossom
pink before the setting sun
so light the breeze
even my rusty gate
silent for the show

very pretty, and i like the rusty gate image, and the idea of it hushing for a pretty sight. Spring is a lovely thing, and different every year, somehow.

Spring has come, you have made that clear in this poem. I'm not sure what else to say - this left me craving words with which to praise, but I have none. The poem speaks for itself and no one's comments can justify the work you have done. Your skill amazes me...your handle on language is strong.

This is a finely written piece. The concluding two lines work perfect. You set it up well and carried it out perfectly. Nice work.

Once again you have left me in awe. This is a lovely tanka Andrew. You have clearly created such a beautiful image for me to sit and contemplate.

Beatiful imagery
This is so well-written, Andrew - as always. I can see your tree, and the blossoms and the silent gate...Lovely imagery. Even though I'm not into haiku or tanka, your poems just call me back time and time again!
