Ah, you got me at "Quills". Always have to write. That's true in oscillation. And then "XX". I really enjoy this subtle touch of a personal syntax. Great read!
An interesting take! I didn't think to do one word per line/letter! Great read! Please check mine out if you get the chance ♥️
Love this! Absolutely charrming 🩷💙
Magical note!
I love what this grew into as an abecedarian! This is adorable. I'm a big fan.
