Impressive work, as always! Especially impressed by your two word, seven syllable line!😳😃
Oh!! That second line! Wished I'd thought of that! Well done, Paul
You've come up with a unique one here. sir! I'd say it's a contender!
Loving the fun evoked through this one. Chlorophyll is one hell of a drug for the leaves. It makes sense why it would make us dance, seeing them crisp and fall. Naked trees evoke. Love this soft sounding last line. 🤗❤️
Oooo, chlorophyll lamentation, I especially loved that! 🍩🥐
Great entry
When a leaves chemical changes strike creativity.
Love the line "Chlorophyll lamentation". Great work and good luck in the Challenge!
A sterling submission, my liege!
“Chlorophyll lamentation”—what a beautiful line. You pack so much into so few syllables here. Well done, and good luck on the challenge!
