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!
