Elizabeth Slumbers

Jazz piano scale skip quick notes implore me Siphon symphony verve blurred by saxophone sass Floated lilly pad leap frog spring legged surety Splats on brass buttoned soldiers dedicated amass Bulbous glass swirl burgundy grape stem bitter Absorbs oak barrel sentiment, forested persuasion Ace praise expires, a swiftly swallowed splinter Comical dive antics of cork fragmenting abrasion Dissolving Elizabeth, shabbily written character Simmered limply submissive, a nouveau improvisation Vat of pursuit poured by Stu picks a passenger Chords hover mahogany piano cascade syncopation Composition three minute summit misconstrue Violins textured crescendo vibrates bow tight strings Apron strewn, Libby leaves her rolling pin askew Butter heart hails harmony a true companion brings 22nd January Stu calls me Jasmine
