Odel… you made me sit here staring at the screen like I’ve just been handed a cup of something warm I didn’t know I needed. The way you held my little poem with that kind of tenderness? I felt it. Truly.
Thank you for letting my quiet words sit beside yours — it’s a rare feeling when someone reads you in the exact temperature you meant. I’m grateful for this corner you’ve built, and for the space you keep open for softness, difference, and all the colours in between.
Odel, you calling me sunshine… I’m going to hold that against you forever. In the sweetest way. Thank you for letting me light up your little world for a moment.
Be, you’re too kind — I’m over here doing a little guest-writer wiggle. I just slipped a poem into Odel’s world and hoped it wouldn’t misbehave, so hearing it felt beautiful to you? That makes my whole evening sparkly~

Asuka, what should I say? It was just wonderful. Your writing has a powerful way to warm the heart and soul of its readers and that’s amazing.
I’m gratefully glad having met you ☺️
You couldn't have asked for a better partner to collaborate with, Odel
Asuka is gifted and kind
Mike, you saying that just made me sit here grinning like I got promoted to ‘best partner in crime.’ You’re too generous — but I’ll take it.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s like having the sunshine 🌞 on your little world 🌎

Beautiful

I loved it, especially the sentence: ‘not forcing the sky to match our shade.’
Thanks !
Asuka really did a nice job in this poem. And I believe that she would be pleased that you find it beautiful
