Bobbing in the breeze—
Clustered together tightly—
Little purple stars;


A mount of aroma—
Heap of halcyon heather-
Hued waltzing flowers.

You're so sweet. Thank you, really. Writing is a arduous process. It's difficult to find the right words in order to convey a realistic and lovely image at the same time. But I can't imagine my life without writing. For you to say that is very flattering for me. And thank you.
