It's been one of my favourite moments to feel for the soft petals of the divine flower..Been one of those great things to inspire me to write imperfect yet self satisfying Nature Poems..Very Beautiful work indeed.

Dear Harshita, I am left breathless and appreciative for the poetic beauty of your deep and insightful comments. Indeed, our words create pale imperfect portraits in comparison to the rich vibrant masterpiece of Nature - but we honor Her perfect artistry with every attempt of our pens to capture Her essence. Your presence is thrilling, my friend, thank you for your sharing enlightened thoughts with me. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

WoW! Susa, I in awe of your artistry. In a few words you said much! I enjoyed you referencing a poet’s ink to a jasmine incense. That brings an aroma of inspiration in the night breeze! I am inspired by so many poets within this soup community and you my dear lady are one of them. Congratulations on getting the poem of day with this gem. It was well deserved. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

In the summer our garden is filled with the scent of star jasmine - even more intense fragrance at night. Will experience them much differently now through your wonderful, creative eyes in "spirit of night" to dream. This is so uplifting my rhyme time friend. Your magnificent talent is reflected in both short and longer poems. Congratulations dear friend on your POTD. So happy for you!
