Turn your sight to the sound as
Unicorns flit between the trees
Vanishing down the starlit walk
Where sharp crystal hooves rap
Xylophone-like on flagstones leaving
Yellowed notes in the autumn breeze
An alphabet sestet: A poem of six lines where each line begins with a consecutive letter of the alphabet.
Written for dVerse.
