Moon-Pearled Rose

when maple sun melts
along orange ice of dusk
brisk-ballet shall breathe
in pale love's snowy scents for -
I'm your midnight's moon-pearled rose...

Ive run out of enough words to describe how beautiful this tanka is my angelic star! I love the descriptive diction, the autumnal imagery and flow of your tanka. Your use of colors and that opening line too “ when maple sun melts” ahh my heart! And also how you’ve written “ pale loves snowy scent” your use of alliterations and the way you’ve paired words is impeccable! And guess wats my fave line “ im your midnight moon pearled rose” wow! Just wow! Pls set it as a prompt on insta! So i can use!
