Dreams, diaphanous,

catch you, (in) spiderwebs of

lights draped from the sky

    I can’t lie to you Gina! I did look up the meaning of diaphanous: ‘very sheer and light; almost completely transparent or translucent.’ I always do this to not just appreciate and better understand the semantics. But also for myself - to improve my own understanding of words. I look up the synonyms and antonyms to improved my own lexicon. I learn so much reading the work of others. Thank-you for this opportunity. Ank to you Sky-ku? I feel a sense of wonder. A beautiful piece. Pauline 🌸
