The Whispers of Diamonds and Moonstone

The whispers of diamonds and moonstone, Starlight’s infusion of butterfly wings. Flutter of lady’s eyelashes in Spring. Lullaby murmuring - Jane’s not alone. Sweet puff of air, rustle of lilting voice. The whispers of diamonds and moonstone, Shuffle from ear to ear, play telephone. Host’s sunrise hair - the inkling day’s rejoice. Sotto voce of floating flutes. Daydream Of droplets barely spritzing window-zone. The whispers of diamonds and moonstone, Reflection of lone eyes, glimmering stream. Undertone of Autumnal leaves, strewn, sown. Olive, lemon, plum - radiant and hushed. Silent lips of a second chance, not rushed - The whispers of diamonds and moonstone, 7/17/2021 Whispers Sponsor: John Lawless *HMS used - 10 syllables per line with two exceptions - diamonds (2 syllables instead of my variant 3 syllables) Sotto Voce (3 syllables. Should be 4)

I was going to highlight my favorite parts, but I soon discovered they were all my favorite parts, so I just popped it onto my FAVE list instead.

Excellent poem, dear Kim. I think you hit the bull's eye. Reading my poor specimen I wonder if I should withdraw it. I bet you'll get first placing. Hugs.

Beautifully written. Form is perfect, and allusions to spring ring true. I love that line "Whispers of diamonds and moonstone", also "silent lips of a second chance, not rushed".
