Celebrations, Minichu, Festival of Lights

When lanterns paint the sky, I'll weave tulsi trinkets, celebrate divine sight~ while stars fly.. Wings of new moon, flare as festivals of delight, in tune. We praise, eternal light~ rays. When lanterns paint the sky, flare as festivals of delight~ rays.

It's hard to find any oversight in your poetry, Dearest Ink. This reading experience was enchanting and captivating. When lanterns paint the sky—it was the first statement that really struck me. You are very talented and creative. It seems like you had this form down and mastered.

I can't wait for that day ! I love this,... these mechanical fireflies shaking hands with life's butterflies, joy, impending the soon dawning of a new age when war maxhines are converted into plow-shares.

Dearest Ink, what a magical and breathtaking poem you've woven effortlessly with such gorgeous wordplay.. Minichu is a tricky form, but you've nailed it here with the celebratory ambience as well as the descriptive imagery.. I love your pristine word combinations here especially, "tulsi trinkets" Wow! Tulsi is a scared plant of India and I love how you've knitted that, so elegantly.. Almost feels dreamy and whimsical.. "Wings of new moon" Ahh, gosh our moon shines always such bright glow shining
