    🌼This is some of the most calming photography I have seen all day; despite the storm brewing, there is a local, homey vibe that made me want to stay. That natural pause with the colon was perfect; it made me want to participate in this gentle command. Your choice of diction held so much within it; the smell of fat raindrops is now in my space.

  • This is one of the many things I love about summer, and reading this poem makes me feel calm ☀️

  • Today is Chinese New Years. Happy New Years!
