Comment from Joseph Geraci
Ah good short read for a hiker looking for solace. I would have preferred a word such as "weary" over "tired" and perhaps a concrete noun instead of "souls"

Comment from Debbie Pope
This is a nice entry for the contest. The entire post is calming and soothing. Should the word "soothe" in the third line be "soothes?" It should be if it is the dulcet that does the soothing and not the leaves. I think that I would also put some punctuation (a comma or a dash perhaps) after the second line to slow the reader down.
Otherwise, I would not change a word. It's pretty.

Naaah... "dances soothe" not 'dances soothes'... :) :) Thanx for the heads up though -- always appreciated!! :) Have a wonderful day!! ;)
-
Sorry. I misread. I thought that dances was a verb. As a noun it definitely takes soothe. Sounds better that way, too.
-
LOL! No apologies...you had me looking to see if I was crazy...cuz I can be, ya know??? :) :) ;)

I should have looked up dulcet. Then it would have been obvious. I thought that a dulcet was like a dulcimer. I am embarrassed to admit that I did not know the meaning. You might define it in the notes. Knowing what the words mean opens up the poem. I feel stupid.
-
Good idea! ;) Done -- thanx as always, MQ!! ;) :)

If I had known it was you, I would have looked up dulcet. You would not have written a confusing poem with the parts of speech mixed up. Now that I know dulcet means soothing, the poem is lovely. It could easily win. I'm still wondering why I jumped on dulcet being a musical instrument.
-
Dulcimer is that gentle, soothing instrument that you 'hear' in reference to the middle ages....like when the musicians would perform for the king and queen and the dine ladies and men in all their fineries...;) ;) Its that same 'dulc-' Latin root.... ;) ;) I hope you have a great weekend, my friend -- just getting started on some grading...yuck! ;)
