Solitude of Iris Incense Nightfall

Solitude of Iris Incense Nightfall

Still solitude drips saffron in sunsets
Twilight tinsel tames tangerine tempests
Lilac lullaby lilts lulling lyric –
Diadems of daydreams dulcet delight
Offers ochre cheerful companion of calm
Unruffled ultramarine universe
Ebb of eventide in ebony escape

For one, such as myself, born with the "verbose gene" these challenges are great mentors - like writing lyrics. And alliteration is a great playmate. Take care!

Greg Gaul Date: 4/25/2021 12:23:00 PM Sam, Sam the seven line fan. Hey look, I have a few left over prepositions, if you need 'em. Seems the alliteration pool got so full that there was no room for me to jump in. Foot to the floor on this one Sam. Kudos and congrats. You knocked it outta the park! Login to Reply
