   September 15, 2025. My poem promotes my novel. Profoundly meaningful. You softly sing of the moonlit lotus pond, while I compose words to depict joys and sorrows, birds chasing insects, unconcerned with parting. You savor the myriad flavors of love in song, while I grow accustomed to swords and snow in the plot. Every moss in poetry has its color; why be so concerned about the peonies in the garden? What life needs is "seriousness"—the nurturing of hope. ~Tomato Novel Serial "Suspenseful Thriller Poetic" Writing Process
