IE, I was intrigued by the emotion of the ending of your poem. It seemed to suggest to me that someone is trying to hold on to a feeling that will not last, but is on the decline (pining paradise). On the other hand, perhaps pining is part of paradise. I have to ponder the nature of affection and how it waxes and wanes. Hope you are well...sending smiles of course.

Dearest Empress, Again you swept me away with sensual imagery and genuine longing. Your great at the way you blend nature’s colors, scents, and textures with emotion for it is breathtaking. I wish I’d written “kiss me like the sun after crimson rain”-it’s unforgettable. I’ll remember this poem for its lush, immersive world. Your voice is truly radiant here. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Breathtaking. Your words dance between sunrise and longing, rich with golden hues and floral whispers. There's a cadence to your phrasing that feels like a melody. An ebb and flow of devotion, passion, and the quiet ache of timeless love. Your poem is a symphony.

Beautifully done Ink! You have an immense talent for drawing in the reader to a 3D experience with your ekphrasis. Favourite line "crowned with mosaic sakura, robed in fervent f l a r e s" excellent

This painting is so beautiful, Ink. The poem I believe is worthy of it. I love your writing about "twin flames" - the whole poem and painting just fits together. A breathtaking reverie- <3

What exquisite beauty! Your poetry is descriptive, dear Ink. It pertains to love, intimacy, and the sensory feelings associated with deep emotional bonds. The topic covers issues of yearning, fidelity, and the aesthetic appeal inherent in love relationships. The visual elicits sensations of warmth, beauty, and euphoria, indicating a deep connection between couples, while also examining the relationship between nature and human emotions. The poem's language is rich and descriptive, often using nature-related imagery (e.g., "sonnets of morning," "hazel rose," "citrus warmth") that amplifies the romantic and tranquil ambiance. The use of sensory language makes emotions tangible—phrases such as "blushing warmth," "mellifluous meadows," and "sage and sandalwood" evoke vivid imagery and feelings. Good luck with the contest and warm waves to you.

I like to think of poetry as flower petals, but not those that wither. As with Kimpt's 'Kiss,' that remains a master's work of art, great poetry should be thought of as the petals of forget-me-nots... long remembered. Reflections of that poet's lines... as are yours, Ink.

Soft sensuality at its finest and an awesome poetic accompaniment to the painting featured. "Kiss me like the sun after crimson rain..." Who could resist such an invite?
