lulled by languid lullabies
leaves lay light, lost in dreams
morning mist mingles muted
whispers of warmth woven in web of the soul

Such lovely echoes, a hush to the tangled words! Calls to mind the swift approach of autumn's embrace!

so true, Sotto. I was noticing today that some leaves are slowly changing color, and I also saw my first acorn fall out of our tree...I can handle fall, but I'm not a winter person. thanks for stopping by, Sara

I always love it when a tongue twister is not just for show. Imagery is vivid as you used the single letter of many words in just one stanza and still got the painful truth about It's one hell of a good write ...
