Yes Kim... I did make it through and it is a bit long for a poem. But it is so incredibly beautiful. Did you understand the message? Can the flower in the shade blame the flower in the sun?

Again, thanks to the daily poem, I have fallen in love with another poet....
What a long poem. Those who say they loved it, that it is nice, a masterpiece, did you really make it all the way to the end? If it is such a masterpiece, why have the 11 voters so far only given it a rating of 5.9 out of ten?
Event to event in the poem the beauty of nature visible. A masterpiece of poem it felt.
happy to read- - - love it
