whoa... what a beautiful marriage of beauty and wonder! a twilight to remember f i l l e d with breathlessly captivating magic in the charcoal-dark firmament dandelions brighter than an afternoon sun fly about overhead in tens of thousands children of the night agog with excitement thrilled, t r a n s f i x e d; many give chase fireflies in a jar glow like frangipani on a bright sunny day; a feast for all eyes. even the pack of wolves look up... seduced.

Congratulations on your win. What a lovely write you have here. As a child I remember putting fireflies in a jar. They were fun nights with my girlfriend. Have a fun/blessed weekend as you write away..................

The choice of flowers is amazing, and such an imagination "children of the night" metaphor. Genuine. Enjoyed, Edward!
