reward enough, as I had loved writing this one.

Shiki Kukai December 2012

As you might have guessed, I have written nothing much in the past few months and hence have to fall back upon my Shiki kukai entries in order to post in the blog.

 The one I have dug up today is from December, 2012.
The prompt was 'departing'.

time to go...

the dragonfly clings

to a dewdrop

It got only 7 points and the  reason I remember this is because somebody liked it enough to leave behind a lovely comment!

That means a lot!
