DIAMOND (Tanka)

Are you?

Diamond to sift

Richly genuine or a sham?

Sparkles delude

Like word crafted perfectly

But comes stealthily painful.

You are multi talented Dhaye. This tanka is very deep for me to understand.

A person shines like a diamond...but each sparkle is like a beautiful word which is perfectly crafted only to hurt...

[NeiL ArandA]

A true piece .. a truth of life you've expressed by taking an example of Diamond. Nice poem. Yer stuffs're short .. like it's a tanka. . . but your all stuffs i've read are much powerful as well. Keep writing.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Neon. You have only read my short pieces, but I have long writes, too.

People are like diamonds.

[Tate Morgan]

Well We all want the love tobe as genuine as the ring that signifies it.It seems they are mutually exclusive and the simpler the ring the deeper the love

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Tate. :)

[Ency Bearis]

Meaningful Tanka and nicely done.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Sir Ency. Hear My Mind. :)

All that glitters is not gold, just as all pretty rocks are not diamonds. Really well done, good use of Tanka form.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Rita. Well said. :)
