A Wonderful Crimson Night

Under Stars, They're Taking Flight

    Such beautiful work, Mike, and a special treat for me. My second-oldest daughter's name is Crimson, and she truly is light. And she just so happens to have red hair. I really enjoyed this❣

    You did it again with a perfect visual poem. I could see the words with the image through each verse. Great job.
