Element: Earth

Earth (an acrostic Tanka) Emeralds, rubies, And sapphires once buried in Rocky crevices Thanklessly ripped from Mother - Her trampled heart beats bleakly. Written March 11, 2016 for the Contest of Brian Davey

Hi Andrea, Congratulations on your placement in the contest. Once again you take two forms, merging them with skillful hand and creating a beautiful write, in its sadness. Once again you have succeeded in merging the two forms. This was very well done Andrea. It is deserving of a seven for what you have done with the two forms but also the vision your words give. It goes into my faves so i can read whenever i wish and i may learn from it....Vlad.
