Connie Marcum Wong January 12, 2017 at 1:59 AM This poem is truly spectacular Anu! You have created a touching and memorable poem with your words and shape. I have always wanted to visit to see the beauty of this marvel. Maybe one day. I had a friend who visited and she brought me back a souvenir from there. I hope this is a top winner! A fave from me. 7 ; )
