IF THIS IS FADING If this is "fading" Oh let me immediately "fade"! If this is "dying" Bury me, in such a shroud of red! If this is "sleep," On such a night How proud to shut the eye! Good Evening, gentle Fellow men! Peacock presumes to die!
Poor Emily, but I suppose fading away is not too bad, however Debbie, I think the first one is more like 'going out in a blaze of glory', but then your etegami are usually glorious!
These speak to me as I see the dotting you spoke of. They are beautiful, but less detailed than your usual etegami and go so lovely with the poem . Thank you.

Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.

Wow! The depth of color in that sunset one is marvelous!

桜もう、ずいぶんみてないのでハートのかたちしてたこと忘れてました。
水にうつる色がとてもいいわー。
ここには、海がないので、こういう絵もわたし、描けないわね。
ないものをさがしても、しょうがないので、
何とか、前向きにやろう!!!ってことで、いつも、逃げていた花に焦点をあてることにしました。花は一番むずかしい。
