Incandescence Blooms

new lovers - glowing - 
explore each other's bodies

      incandescence blooms

              the moon peeks down through branches
                                    of the oak two lie beneath

I really enjoyed this sweet tanka of yours-- and such a cool & unique line that is, "incandescence blooms".... and with the moon playing peek-a-boo, that is very nice how you did that-- speeding through here and I got to go. I gave in to your request and posted a sorta old poem ;). Written in August. Gotta sleep now, hugs to you sweetie!

Your have painted a picturesque beauty to read, to behold and to get lost in the charms of your Moon blooms. A beauty to watch and to feel. My good wishes for your contest entry. Hope you are keeping fine. My eye problem is slightly better, so I am more with all of you. Love and best wishes...Ravindra...Andrea Dietrich
