This is an incredible kimo, immaculate, imaginitive and insightful, Sotto. Exquisite word spectrum and lyrical narrative. Profundity allied to colour in each line. A truly marvellous in its entirety.🔥🔥🔥 Best of luck with it.

“ orchids fade like brief embers “ gosh and those blossoms returning as rain, sigh, he melancholia in this flows with effortlessness …and is so heartfelt! Those flickering lanterns landing on the fields of sadness.. I can absolutely picture that! Truly a brilliantly knitted kimo for the contest, very soul-touching, dear Sotto! Sending you soothing stars and moonbeams, Keep writing ~ 🌙🌙💫💫✨✨
