The leaves beckon and entice
with a splash of sunlight
before the damp woods surround
and their psithurism
becomes the pervading sound,
blotting out thoughts
while inviting adventure
with the whispering winds
of why not?

Beautiful! And thanks for the lovely new word. Psithurism. Yum!
thanks! it’s one of my favorite words!
‘The whispering winds of why not?’ Fantastic line!
Love this little buzzing, green space inside a poem. Love it!
Feel free to peruse my poems, too.
Beautiful imagery and tone. I would just remove the word psithurism…Yes, it’s a catchy word but a word many may not know and it doesn’t really serve a purpose as it is not a rhyming word… movement could have sifficed. Just my thoughts as the poem had great rhythm and cohesion but such a high dollar word stuck out and interrupted te flow a bit. I loved all the soft sounds.. Beautiful beginning too which grabbed me right away…The leaves beckon and delight/with a splash of sunlight. Very visual and love the rhyming couplet.
