If anyone had timeless love it was Marc and Bella! Love Chagall!

Incredible. A monoku packed with meaning. Alas I'm too verbose.

Oh we both wrote on same thing! I almost used timeless love too in my monoku! Yours is obviously seamless and flows very well! And depicts two souls connected, above blossoms blossoming! How beautiful and heartfelt this is silent one! You amaze me with your poetic skills! I wish i knew how to post pics using my phone. I love the most “ swirl of blooms” that should be used as a prompt! So catchy and soft with a fragrant touch! I love this! Well written ! Best wishes for the contest too!
