This was a most excellent loop poem to read before going to bed tonight. I liked reading it.
Favorite lines: mist muffles all the natural sounds
and also:
tunes that weave a web of sleep
Gotta love that 'm' alliteration and 'w' alliteration going on there.

An excellent entry for the Loop poetry contest. I feel like I just took a late afternoon slumber on a rainy Fall day. Perfection. Well-done loop poem that reads smoothly and makes perfect sense, which sometimes isn't easy in this format. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Melissa, Great loop format and your poem has great alliteration throughout. Of special note:

rain plays a muted melody
melody of slow, haunting tunes

(When it rains, those autumn nights can be quite spooky. I don't know why, but that is something that I have always noticed.)

Good imagery. Wonderful photo. I wish that I was in it. Well done. A pleasure to read. Xo. M

    Hi Margaret. Thanks bunches, my friend. I am looking forward to those rainy, autumn nights... but, here in Virginia, we are still having summer. I have to keep reminding myself that is just September 6th. LOL. Hugs!!

Just beautiful, Melissa!
And how your words resonate with me on this very chilly, rainy evening!
I am sitting in front of a cheerful fire in our family room! Goodness!
But what a lovely place to read and enjoy your lovely poem!

Best Wishes!
fondly,

    Hello Diane. Thanks so much!! It is a bit chilly here, but no rain... I was imaging that part ~ LOL. I am using a trick of Dean Kuch's tonight... inspiration has been fleeting of late, so I have lit candles in a dark room and I'm listening to a piano instrumental named "Autumn Colors". It's on in the background ~ hey, at least I got a Loop Poem out of it :). Thank you sweet friend.

Lovely loop poem with all the right elements of looping words even across the stanzas. You met the rhyme scheme requirement well and made us feel that coziness that comes with the cooler autumn weather which is more conducive to sleep that hot summer nights. Best wishes in the contest!

    Hello Helen. Thanks so much. I am experiencing such a night at this time. I also am playing a song list on my Spotify account that is Autumn Colors. I love it and if you like, I can send you the link. So cozy. I am writing tonight and I've borrowed a trick from Dean Kuch... he would light candles in a dark room and commence writing. Well... at least I got a Loop verse out if it LOL!!! Hugs, sweet friend.

    That's great! Thank you for sharing Dean's tip! I don't use Spotify. It's good to know about it. 💖
