Reckoning

Redolent reverie Rain-soaked in raspberry Roses most delicate Runes woven from star seeds Refulgent petals swirl Russet thorns of my heart Regrets etched in kohl quartz

a marvelously descriptive poem. I admire your willingness to do a Pleiades. I especially like 'russet thorns of my heart.' It describes pain and regret perfectly.

Inky, I agree with Valsa, this is remarkable - "raspberry roses," "russet thorns," "runes woven from star seeds!" You must have a resident rainbow sitting on your shoulder singing "reveries" to you! You craft your writings so beautifully with memorable images that just stand out and remain in my memory! Best wishes for the contest! Blessings to you!

A ravishing beginning and end to this piece. Soaked in vibrancy and heaviness, especially this line; “Runes woven from star seeds“ Absolutely beautiful and unrestrained dearest Ink
