Garden of Delight

Saccharine Lyrics from the hummingbirds' coma let her ballerina feet whirl in the grass. Sleek chiffon of hers pet the bouquet's aroma as fireflies puppeteer her dance class. Dawn's aftertaste in her starts to amass. Swan feathers in the lawn give her angel wings. The Aubade is her halo in this blind light. Evergreen brushes her aileron strings while the serenade sets her into a flight. Now a starlet in the garden of delight. ~ Written On: July 12th, 2017 Contest: English Quintain Contest Meter: Iambic Pentameter Sponsor: Janice Canerdy

This was really nicely done Alyssa. The rhymes are so well written they allow each line to flow smoothly into the next. I just read Dale's Quintain and now yours, I had seen this form before but I really like it. Thanks so much for sharing this.
