_______________________________

I am a loquacious, a storyteller of whimsy and woe this poem is a jargogle of jumbling words as I enter the forest to a cacophony of harsh sounds oh, I often tend to be a gloomy crapehanger and sometimes a fantasizer unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality escaping into the intricate world of poetry it is a metamorphosis of a logophile word lover oh, I am distracted by the wind in trees and the rustling of leaves petrichor and fall into an elysian state it is an ephoria so intense with mellifluous feelings sometimes I find myself in an assemblage of headstones as I meander to the symphony of bird songs as the darkness of death wraps around me and the withered flowers are beautiful to behold lost, lost in a reverie rhapsodic, unraveling words and living in the moment, detached

Love of sounds and words is evident in this poem. I felt involvement while reading it. Your poem is a rver of emotions that cascades to a surprise ending.
