The jade moon no longer illustrates~ poetry that illuminates synthetic flowers, and the timeless trinkets of twilight, refuse to rhyme halcyon hymns in twinkling hues. Tonight, I sit in crippling confusion, drawing fireflies across the onyx sky; suspended in painted illusion, searching for swirling pink diamonds. Yet from the saffron silence of sakura in blossom, I find crystalline colors of butterfly bliss, though I’ve long been awaiting rosemary rain, to emanate a balmy muse amidst inked pain. Now this rustic heart aches to be, within the amorous arms of amethyst dusk, there I’ll rise to the music of lotus love, be anything but a caged weaver of faded stars.

Lovely penning Dear Inky. "I’ll rise to the music of lotus love, be anything but a caged weaver of faded stars." Yes. Anything but caged. Big congratulations on your POTD. Sorry I'm late.

An amazing use of the right words, Ink. Big congrats on a well deserved POTD. Hope I got that right about it being POTD. I love a poem like this where you limit yourself to short stanzas.

"Yet from the saffron silence of sakura in blossom, I find crystalline colors of butterfly bliss, though I’ve long been awaiting rosemary rain, to emanate a balmy muse amidst inked pain." You have done it and done it masterfully. I don't remember to have read a mediocre poem of you. Always you stay above the mark. I have been away for two days and will be away on another couple of days. So I missed seeing your POTD. Great poem which I am sure will be a contest winner. Hearty Congratulations on your well deserved honor, dear Empress!

Dear Po E TESS. You never cease to impress me with your gifts. Congratulations on this wonderful penning, so full of alliteration, imagery and pain. You are certainly not a "caged weaver", at least not of words. Blessings!

Dearest Inky! Congratulations on your POTD. Your ability to create imagery that puts me right in the middle of the "sakura in blossom" with you is stunning. "Swirling pink diamonds," " rustic heart," "painted illusion." You have used each one of the required words to the fullest extent of poetic artistry. Just beautiful, dear friend. I am so happy for you! Sending you blessings of "butterfly bliss" and joy! ~Samzy~
