When Doves Cry

Cooling off in falling months, approaching dusk. Coordinated chill and quilting of snow, brusque. Cooking lots of soup, beating down dough, as the wind whoops on a weeping willow. The sky blue sheets aired out on the clothesline. Coordinates of beauty in her decline. Cooties shots on the medical menu…sigh. Cooperation of dirge, the woe-filled cry. Co-occurence of life and absence of fog on the handheld mirror, down by the bog. Cookout of fried boughs and its vestment. This particular parish was not a good investment. Autumn’s turning down the soil - leaves storm in turmoil, slowing down what it believes. The coos of despair…her ring rolls off finger. Her dreams of love no longer linger. Cool when Autumn clashes with Winter and the clash of letters are placed by printer. The clouds are snow white, they get the scoop. Doves cry and hover - eyes droop.

The mournful cry of doves is one of the saddest I've ever heard. Love the line, "...Autumn clashes with Winter." Sometimes I wish Autumn would linger longer. Great write, and congratulations on POTD, Kim.

The P.S. leadership has asked me to edit the penultimate line of your POTD. Here's what I came up with: 'Snow White, get the scoop!' Notice the delightful ambiguity in the word 'scoop:' could be ice cream scoop; could be doggie y-k-w scoop. lol. Happy to help in any way I can. ~ Editor-at-large (obese?!), gw... Oh, yes: Congrats on POTD, Kim!!
