The tall treetops tremble
Tenuously they sway
The twilight's tender touch
The tempting taste of day
Tired travelers trudge
Through tough terrain and turf
The turbulent tides turn
The turmoil never heard
Thick, tangled thorns twist
The thistle's thorny throne
The thrumming of the bees
The tickling of the drone
Tongues tied in tension
Thoughts that twist and turn
The ticking of the clock
The tremors as we yearn
Tales told in tautograms
Tantalizing to the ear
The tick-tock of the tongue
The trick of words sincere
The tall treetops tremble
Tenuously they sway
The twilight's tender touch
The tempting taste of day

Her art was her passion, but she felt an insatiable hunger to explore the mysteries of the universe. She devoured books on quantum physics and attended lectures by renowned scientists, seeking to understand the intricate dance of particles and waves.

Beautiful! I really enjoyed the imagery here and the sharp sound of 't' in contrast with the soft 'th' sound. Congrats on top story!
