Today, is the birthday of a very close friend, like family to me, one that has been there for me through highs and lows. And i take this opportunity to write a poem about her, lionness on paper, she is not just a poet, but an artist, with many talents and a very strong soul that i can proudly say i have the honor to see and celebrate closely not just today but always. 
and is the reason why i chose to write also about her for Tom Woodys contest on a special poet. 
Happy birthday Lionness papi! Keep shining! 

Seasons have more reasons to celebrate an innovative artist who speaks in colorful dialects— when abstract silence kicks in and suffocates the petals dried and left as bookmarks within pages of the past. I see the opalescent rays burst through the ashen skies the day the ink of your soul did flow in fluorescent hues across the faceless canvas of life. You knew the synonymous metaphors to calm rivers of raging riddles. Your spirit is like a supernova colliding in the night, shining forth with lyrical light. Words fail to glamorize how you beautify my world. You paint with brushstrokes of sincerity, illuminating the void of vulnerability, effortlessly curating compassion with pristine pigments of empathy. Today and always, I celebrate the tulip stars that shimmer, aligning constellations in favor, to guide you to a poetic sphere where thoughts splattered in charcoal and gray would flicker hope and peace upon your aesthetic aura, as time and space cannot steal the lioness psyche which glows like periwinkle confetti. I thank the Universe for your ethereal existence. You turn the gloominess of midnights into rainbow-rinsed radiance, awakening the sleeping sun to ascend and unravel acrylic beams of blissfulness.

"You turn the gloominess of midnights into rainbow-rinsed radiance, awakening the sleeping sun to ascend and unravel acrylic beams of blissfulness." ! What more is needed to highlight a person whom you hold dear to your heart. I don't have much familiarity with her, except the comments I see under all your poems. I know she is one of your fans among many. I am sure she is worthy of your admiration. Your talent I do admire and your poems never lack its lustre any time. You are Empress and your friend is lioness. Congratulations on your well deserved placement.

Congratulations, Dear Empress, on a fabulous win. The title itself "Lioness On Paper" is a striking one, demonstarting your creativity from the very beginning. This is a wonderful tribute to someone you picture as "Words fail to glamorize how... with pristine pigments of empathy." I also find poetic device like alliteration, "rainbow-rinsed radiance" is one of your favourites. Thank you, Gifted Poetess, for gifting us beautiful poems like this one! Love and hugs ~ Mala

A wonderful tribute. I forget if you told me this person's name or not. Do they go by Lioness here at Soup? Big congrats on your win. Oh I read your funny conversation way down here on the thread. So glad your friend really loved her tribute.

Thank you for giving me second place im truly shocked! And so grateful

A lovely friend you are Dear Ink. I love to see friendship cared for, valued and celebrated. Our soulmates are sometimes friends. You have written this with so much love and sincerity and your kindness and love will keep the foundation of this friendship soaring. I can't ignore the metaphorical goodness and placidity this piece brings. "Words fail to glamorize how you beautify my world." I hope people get to see how much value their friends bring and celebrate them. Happy birthday Lioness.

the lioness psyche which glows like periwinkle confetti. I could swear some days that you own a magic wand that turns your eyes to a kaleidoscopic view, one we cannot see, so thank you for describing it with so much color and view, I love it.

A lovely poem and clever idea to write about her for Tommy's contest... I hope the lioness had a great birthday... I like how you touch upon the themes of creativity, inspiration, and the transformative power of art. Your poem celebrates an "innovative artist" whose work transcends the mundane, transforming silence and darkness into vibrant expression. The imagery is rich and evocative, with "opalescent rays" breaking through "ashen skies" and "fluorescent hues" flowing from the soul, suggesting a luminous and transformative artistic presence.
