The lonely sky weeps

Defeats my loud cry
By the rage of its thunder

A tanka that really strikes the right cord of your heart. Simply brilliant!
Marvellous, poignant and touching. It really moves you to tears.
Quite heart striking! .. Very beautifully and powerfully expressed! .. Definite 10s! ..++++++++++
In My number 4 comment I meant: you use several times nature outside since you do not wish that someone can hear your loud cry, the sky defeats your loud cry, excellent metaphor.
4) this is a result of constantly looking at the adventurous surrounding nature. I have truly enjoyed this touching Tanka of the great Poetess. To my Favourites and 5 Stars Topscore and myriad more
3) it does not touch me only, but it grabs me straight to the nature where this sadness has its on-going. All these occurrences I still see in front of me. I have never read a Tanka of this greatness, .
2) This Tanka is of such beauty and softness, it hits me right in my heart and tears are rolling, this IS poetry I am very fond of
Fater having read this touching poem, I remember your lovely beautiful poem in the past about weeping outside while the wind was wild, so no one could hear the loud weeping. Or may I am wrong, but I thought that I still know that poem, not this, but nature is the great subject in it.
I apologize, this first word must be AFTER, that's my dyslexia in typing the words.
.....and the second word-mistake, near the end........Or maybe, it must be maybe, not only may, thank you for your attention.
Thunder and lightning can be the rage of the sky upporting us against what makes us sad.
