    Just finished reading "Calligraphy of geese" for my homework 📚 Beautiful imagery painted all over it. Could almost see those geese flying against the night sky 🌌 The mention of "the moon seals it" is just out right beautiful. A really calming, soothing kinda feeling washes over you while reading it. These kinda poems makes me actually enjoy my homework sometimes. Hehe 😅 Its that simple yet deep and meaningful beauty that gets me every time. Just love it! 👌💖
