Leaf of Lotus Blue

Lotus Blue's body

Swells impatiently

Her lover making art out of citron trees

Lotus Blue

Sighs

Pay attention to me.....

Her lover listening to caged birds singing

Lotus Blue

Listen to my song

Climb

Up my bowing tree

Her lover glances

Smiles

Plucks a leaf

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
