In a cozy corner of my attic I sit changing syllables for you, to lyrics Perched on my window pane, tiger tabby commenced cleaning its paws already Soon, my zinc roof brings instrumental sounds with rain that soothes my very soul I pause; look out at dancing tamarind leaves, drenched, yet holding in the wind And I think to myself, how nostalgic each moment; making me feel romantic. * Entry for SKAT A 'Poem You Wrote on a Rainy Day' contest

Your poem went 360, capturing all the senses, and with your characteristic fruit tree mention. "how nostalgic each moment" << loved this line. Well done, Iris.
