Gently, An August Night

I trace an August nightfall when the mist Wheels oh so gently down the woods Embracing all the fields, the shooting grass In yellow, green contrasts. When all around the summer lamps are cast A tiara of hues, so warm Kids resting on the cushion, dreams on flight After tag fest’s delight. And high above, across a thousand stars The breeze clears air through puffing clouds While blissful heart sips flavors of this day To mildly glide away.

This is another tremendous write by your my friend! I truly loved reading this delightful poem! There is one thing that I noticed with this piece, you had a syllable count of 10/8/8/6, instead of 10/8/10/6 like you wanted to have in the second stanza! I just though you'd like to know Nette! But just the way it is is totally fantastic, I imagine whatever changes you make will make it wondrously great! What a charming piece, Excellent Work!!
