L For Lovers

Legendary lovers lay low, Lurking longingly like lorikeets, Languishing beneath a clump of larches, Lena flirting with Leander Lunching on lotus flowers, Lost bearings to all. Liquored up into a dual lullaby Listening to a lay from Lake Lethe, Eyes lit in lambent love. Luck lifted their luminousness. Greek Lord livid at their love Lashed lightning And locked them both out Love flickered into oblivion. Placed 1 11 December 2020 Alliteration Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper

You have such a way with words. “L’s” use your pen in a mighty way! Nice!

I love your laudably lavish use of the letter L, which shows you're a linguist. An impressive entry for the contest, Victor. Good luck. :)
