Impossible yet easy

A tanka poem (5-7-5-7-7)

She was a puzzle
With such high expectations
Yet easy to spoil
Melting from the simplest words
Smiling from the smallest gifts

Interesting form. I really like the descriptions you gave. I must give it a try someday!

It's sorta like a haiku/senryu form with a little bit more wiggle room - I prefer it as it's short enough to require precision but long enough to fully capture a scene, an emotion, etc.
