At Winter’s Whim

Summer-scented blueberry breezes blow briskly, as Autumn tints the trees. And loose leaves, like crinkled crimson, fall, as sweet songbirds sing Summer farewell. And as daylight dims, darkness descends, while warm winds morph into fickle friends: scattering snowflakes, at Winter's whim.

A simple seven line math problem involving many fingered calculations. Yours is a masterfully crafted farewell to Fall, beautifully done Emile.

Thanks, Jenna, I used the PoetrySoup syllable counter and it says it is 11 syllables, but I think you're right, so I changed it anyway my friend, Emile.

Emile, by far the best Alliterisen format I have read, and with the contest, I have read several. Yours is a masterful composition...but, of course, it isn't so unusual because you are a master craftsman with words. Many of my alliterations seem to come naturally, but I may give this form a try, but not for the contest. Beautiful!!!
