Did you manage to get to the end without falling victim to your own lullaby? This was beautifully soporific and nearly had me nodding off before I had got to the end - not with boredom, you understand but because of the effectiveness of the atmosphere generated.

Haha, thanks Jim! As the poem says... its intentional... :). Yes, it made me sleepy too. LOL. I had one reader say she was going to refer to my sleepy poems to help her sleep.... made me chuckle. Thanks again!!

Beautifully rhyming poem. It evokes a peaceful feeling and it's so descriptive, I felt like I was there with this poet...and she was reading to me. Thank you for sharing. :)

Delightful lilting verse, Melissa. Indeed the words are carefully chosen for meaning, sound and rhyme. I love the construction of the poem, setting the scene, introducing the poet, invoking sweet music of poetry and then explaining how the muse works her magic.
Beautifully composed.
Stay safe healthy and blessed

This is beautiful, written with great word choices. I love the photo to go with it. If I had to choose, the second stanza would be my favorite. "Her words resemble violins" is a lovely phrase.

This is superbly written. Words flow like a gentle stream and rhyming well. As I read it, I can visualize the imagery and hear the gentle strains of music. Bravo!

How absolutely beautiful! And your picture just brings your words to life, even though, if I closed my eyes and heard them spoken, I think I'd see that picture, anyway.

This is beautiful! The mood you have set does lull the reader into an entranced dreamy state of mind. Like soothing violins that calms the weary soul at the end of the day, your imagery is so relaxing. Well Done.
