Dear Lin Lane, I absolutely love this dodoitsu, how delicately youve woven words and described in such a detailed manner showing us through your lines floating lotus, symbol of serenity, in sheer eloquence, impeccable write! Such exquisite lines throughout, and beautiful imagery, i also love how you’ve defined them as pure perfect petals of nature that deserves more attention for not just their heavenly scent but for the reasons mentioned here! Thank you for writing. CONGRATULATIONS on winning

Your poetry, Lin, is genius and makes me happy. Your portrayal of nature's resiliency is stunning. As a soft breeze caressed my spirit, I enjoyed reading it this morning. Your words evoke the hues of a spring meadow after a hard winter, capturing nature's victory. Oh, the second stanza touches my heart! Your dedication to the splendor of nature is an artwork.

Lasaad, your comments are more poetic than my verses, even when about a beautiful lotus flower. Thank you!
