The Soliloquist

THE SOLILOQUIST She kissed la fleur - the audience. The spotlight pierced her eyes, and then eclipse la lune - the tale begins. Quaint pearlescent - those tears that break. L’amour that baits dress circle seats. She flits of charm, her hands in play. Bids parting syllable away. Tout du suite, a tremendous crowd leap. The virgin in white dress aglow. Throng’s breathless palms like wedding bells. 10/9/2018 la fleur - the flower (la flur) la lune - the moon (la loon) l’amour - love (la-mor) tout de suite - immediately (toot-sweet) *in parenthesis my best pronunciation

A beautiful write, made so much more magical by utilizing French words, as they are famous for their knowledge of l'amour. I am going to utilize la'fleur, and I thank you for schooling me today, Kim.
