Slice of Paradise, Cooled - Ty

Giver ... 

          Sliver ...
                    
                    Quiver ...

                              Shiver ...

Crescent moon, light giver - sliver, just ...

                    Dusk's cool breath, palms quiver, shiver ... gust.

When I read something like this, I see my English is useless. I'd rather learn Latin. Congrats, Gregory)

I'm so pleased you enjoyed my first Tyburn, Kim, and I thank you for the opportunity to learn a new form, and have fun doing so! I'm honored and humbled to be on a list with such fine fellow poets! Blessings, Friend! :-) <3

ooh la la la. I LOVE this one AND the picture. I am seeing many poets not rhyming both syllables, but for me, I think it's much better to do complete rhymes on the two syllable words and am glad to see you did it that way. I tried to catch up on Soupmails to you, so be sure to see them all!!!

I've got tingles, I do, and I like them! Could stare at the picture for a good while and be perfectly content, then read the poem which matches perfectly. A combo delight, Greg! All the best ... CayCay
