The photograph is lovely. The words are sublime. Your aabb rhymed quatrains shine, as I follow every line. You can almost smell the perfume. Sweet metaphor in that Scarlett cloak. Wonderful imagery, like: red cascade, resplendent stance, feast at leisure. Strong emotion too.

Thanks so much. I'm smiling with happiness.
I had a run-in with writer's block after the events of last year and have been off-site a lot.
I'm hoping this year is my year is my year to achieve a writing milestone.
Fingers crossed,
:-) Shirley
