In The Susurrus
~*Marge Tindal*~

~*~
~*~
~*~
Soft the sigh
that falls from sky,
moving the leaves about
In a hush of susurrus rush
the leaves dance roundabout
Fall has fallen across the lawn
gaily prancing long before dawn
Then upon awake of morning sun
I see kaleidoscopic colors in splay
daintily dancing in whirl of sound
along yonder welcoming pathway
Oh what glorious sound is heard
as susurrus joins a songing bird
Pausing for moment of reflect
as gentle spreads the ground
Autumnal art makes merry
as I lift voice in the song
trio of the day in break
won’t you sing along
Do, oh please do
for this day of
caring is for
sharing
with
you

Good morning, Marvellous Marge! I see that you are in fine poetic 'form' this glorious fall day!

What a lovely word! It has such a 'poetical' sound to it! ~ and as Nancy commented, it's a great new word for Scrabble! ~ and one I can use to get rid of all those dingdang "u"s that I seem to get stuck with!

Hugs with love,
EO

Dear Marge

Where do you find these words!!! I tried to say 'susurrus' and was tongue tied. It reminded me of when I was a youngster and had a bad stutter. Anyhow, I read the part of your poem that said, 'In a hush of susurrus rush'. So I went to translate susurrus to rustling and I read out aloud, 'In a hush of rushling sush'. Oh boy!

I loved your verse!

Love Verbena xo

I enjoy getting A Word A Dad...it oftimes adds to my vocubulary in one way or another...all for the better. Hadn't seen this word, but thoroughly enjoyed not only the sound of it, but the alliteration all of the way throughout!
