The author modestly notes that while calling it a superpower might be presumptuous, the encouragement from Lucy Dan validates this perspective.

It may be presumptuous to call it a superpower, but I do like to observe nature and turn it into poetry. Besides Lucy says it’s okay. Here is the link to Melanie’s piece
