SO beautiful 🥹 you poems never fail to be dreamy and transport me! So many beautiful pictures and similes here, that make this so magical✨

“ the clouds are dipped

in lemon lollipops

like the mirage of a sundress

flowing teasing and soft”

This was one of my favorites!

Your words make me yearn for a soft winter 🤍 thank you for sharing such a gorgeous piece☁️

Like Nadia, I too hope for a soft winter. But right now we are in peak summer (or at least it feels that way) It's so interesting to read about the complete opposite and how you capture the magnificent beauty that is winter and how special the sun becomes. These were a few of my fave lines:

the sleepy sunbeams

make the grass sparkle

please don’t melt

you see the faraway gum trees

touching the sky

with a sway

and the way

the leaves

s h i v e r

and this one: and the sky tastes like peaches tonight

just because I love peaches and they're in season and I can only imagine what it's like to kiss and taste the sky ☁️✨🪩❣️

This is so incredibly gorgeous, Jennae 🥹💗☁️🍑 It inspires me to one day stay up all night in nature to have the experience of witnessing the magic of each of the special windows of time you’ve described so beautifully. I tried to pick my favourite part of the poem and couldn’t because I love each and very word 💜✨🍓 thank you for bringing such beauty into my heart always with your poetry!
