Mellifluous

Mellifluous her soothing voice 
Each word sugar-coated 
Like sweet honeyed candy
Luscious and mellow  
In her gentle dulcet tones
Flowing sweetly and melodiously
Lyrically euphoniously
Unlike his loud flamboyant tones
Oh such vociferous sounds emit
Until he heard her mellow words
Smoothly ~ gently her voice doth calm

Yes it really is a wonderful word, I agree, though in fact I did write the poem last night well into the early hours, but kept nodding off over the keyboard, haha... but now at least I can wish you a belated happy birthday SO... just had a soup mail from Constance pointing out the wrong date! Thank you for your kind visit, with kindest thoughts Ann xx
