    Three things I like too!
    I don't PIF though
    • lol...Mari, I better see you in this contest.lol and I will make you PIF
  • yay! flowering trees are one of my favourite things.
    • thanks, Kate...hope you will be inspired..it's vines, though...lol...but trees will be fine too.. they are beautiful, too.

  • As solemn wisps of language
    scattered my thoughts,
    I leapt into tears of love.

    Flowered romance clung
    to rhythmic sighs of beauty
    and bloomed with Heaven
    as the night whipped cream
    sensations to thick delight.
