    This is so lingeringly lovely. Well done, Rachel.

  • Beautiful ✅… I was also slow on the M… the image got me there… my mind was still in your serial (Matt or Mark)!🤔😀

    This is so clever Rachel!! The feathered M took me a minute, but I love that image it created in my mind when I finally got there. Well done!!

    I love in blue above blue. It resonates well with the childlike crayon scrawl and a living M. Definitely a novel and lovely take on the challenge, Rachel!

    Oh, this is very creative, chum! Well done. Loved this unique take among so many ones that are pretty, but essentially the same. Also, sorry I've gotten so far behind your series and scared to try and find the crumb I left on lol. But, it's on my agenda. Not forgotten you, Deeming!

  • Blue above blue, that was a good one! Also, thank you for the explanation of M because I was imagining a winged moose 😅😅 Also, that photo reminded me of your Boiling Sea. Loved your Haiku!

    This was inspired by the drawings I used to do as a child where I drew birds as an "M". This picture on Unsplash, I think, shows why this is appropriate!
