Rolling Off the Tongue
Seasons roll off tongue,5
sweet taste weathered blissful life,7
magical tilts dance,5
spinning cycles of our new7
tomorrows in wings5
of beauty to view with laughs.7
Earth spins atmosphere5
across wondrous subtle life.7
Spring caresses dawn:5
awake with yawning dewdrops7
filled with soft magic,5
a breath of fresh air inhaled,7
exhaled by all lungs.5
Flowers push through earth in search7
of sun's pot of gold,5
rays of magnificence roll,7
artistic shades; tones.5
Summer delights the blue world7
with shades of bright green,5
mountains thaw a little more,7
songbirds gather notes,5
quiet appreciation,7
ballads of pure love.5
Autumn colours leave their mark 7
with rusting promise5
of breath to new life later,7
cycles spinning loud5
delight with warmth's subtle shine,7
preparing for cold5
snaps of fallen snow freckles.7
Winter breaks the ice,5
blankets of white wine sip on7
bright chilled reflections,5
restful ways blink and then stretch7
all the branches bare.5
Soon musical notes will ring7
for spring to give birth anew.7

lmao this sounds like so much fun. Is it limited to how many times we have to go 5-7-5-7-5-7? Like, 12 times back and forth or something? I might have to try this...
