I echo the sentiments of this excellent poem of yours dear poetess. I especially loved your lines, "dawning of balmy views, deep pink and purple hues." Thanks for this gorgeous pleiades and best wishes in what appears to be a very competitive contest on the soup.

This is a very good Pleiades, Empress; even enriched by a sprinkling of alliteration and rhyme. Yes, many people think that only yellow daffodils exist; if not mistaken even blue daffodils have been cultivated, though I've never seen one! ~ Regards // paul

You have taught me something new dear Empress. I always thought daffodils only came in yellow. I now discover there are also pink and purple varieties too. So enchanting to write about the lesser known. Your poem abounds in the sweet scent of musky air and I see fields of saffron daffodils, and there you are waiting, heart filled with anticipation. Wow I just realized I got all of that from your 7 tiny lines ! Incredible.

Your Pleiades paints a lovely image of Daffodils, a favorite of mine and my wife Sara's. I like the added alliteration in lines 3 & 5 ... saffron smeared and pink and purple. It's like putting a cherry on top to me. Thanks for sharing your gift of poetry with us my new friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

A touching and beautiful Pleiades. Not only do you have skill, 'Ink,' you also have put a lot of soul into such short phrases. I especially like 'saffron smeared faith." On another, daffodils are my favorite flower....they're the first to bloom in our area, usually emerging in early February giving me hope that winter (my least favorite season) will soon be over. Nicely done, Sara

And again, your poem has reached deep within and pulled out all the emotions with your never ending grace and divinity of your heart mind and soul, always speaking such volumes to how I feel..both the beauty and the hardships you weave into such masterpieces, my beautiful soul sis! “Dreamscape of daffodils” of course your ethereal artistry would dream up such mesmeric words, stirring one’s soul..pulling at the heartstrings with the breathtaking way you weave. “Designed in acrylic” — again the way you’ve used acrylic is so beautifully unique to show the imagery you paint so exquisitely. “Saffron smeared faith”, “dawning of balmy views”, “drifting through murky air, darling you’ll find me there” such a delicately powerful ending! You always amaze me, my soul sis! I’m forever awestruck, feeling your words!

Wow wow, my lovely Ink, you never cease to mesmerise my heart and enchant my soul "dreamscape of daffodils designed in acrylic" Now that's a vivid painting of fascinating fragrance. "Depicts saffron smeared faith" Absolutely love the "saffron smeared faith".. "Dawning of balmy views" Ahh, and the colour references of deep pink & purple gosh, that definitely is my favorite! "Definitely through musky air, darling, you'll find me there" That last line is truly impeccable and the touch of finesse :)
