Excellence Award in the 'Play On Words 2021' competition

Azure droplets cascaded down the window.

Mellow fire reaches out to

ameliorated places for burning.

This room is renowned for family heritage.

Picturesque embellishments and artefacts bordered this cherished place,

with hints of floral notes hovering in the air.

With a book in one hand and an album in the other,

these memories consisted of pure bliss and ecstasy,

for generations to come.
