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.

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.
