This kanshi poem, Gazing at Crystal Stars, has the proper formatting and finds the lovers in the middle of all the ambiance which reinforces the feelings being shared at this time. Nice.

The chill and starkness of the scene in the first stanza evolves to the lighter and more joyful sound of the birds before the warmth and passion of the embrace. A lovely little story told here, succinctly and sensually. Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Take care Debbie

I often hang my laundry outside and so far, I haven't smelled autumn on the clothes. I am wondering why. I'm sure I will pretty soon. Your poem reminded me of that. Thank you for sharing.

    Yes, I was thinking of autumn in general. We don't have it in Los Angeles yet. Today is 206 degrees!

    Thank you very much, Barbara

This style is relatively new to me, but I like how it captures the moods of the characters and even has a rhyme. Its presentation is very stunning and catches the eye. Thank you for posting.

    Kanshi can be written with rhyme or free verse. I always choose words that sound goodto me. The rhyme was unintentional but it worked out.

    Thank you very much, RJ

Kanshi certainly looks like fun. I like that have the option to rhyme or not. That makes the authors efforts less forced.

Really liked the pictures. That bottom one is inspiring. The stanza about the doves caught my attention. Don't see a lot of them any more. Beautiful bird.

Blessings.
Douglas

I loved how you captured the autumn sky in this piece and I loved the image of the person gazing at the crystal skies. I could really picture it in my mind as I was reading. An excellent piece.

This Kanshi poem paints a lovely word picture as well as the literal picture you have used to display it. Enjoying fall weather under the night sky and being in the arms of your love sounds like life couldn't be sweeter.
