..
there is no allegro
……in me today;
only the adagio slow
of words sipped,
………….slipped low
through lingered
………………languid lips.
..
Written for Toads, Play It Again, for Laurie’s awesome “minute poem” allegro prompt.

Ah yes, a wonderful sort of Sunday poem! Thanks for posting!
Beautiful writing, and a lovely use of this prompt.
Exactly my rainy weekend feeling. Lovely as always, De
“lingered languid lips” -very nice, though hard to say quickly 🙂
I had a largo kind of day – no allegro here 😉
Ah, this is lovely… I read a bit slower with each line. Brilliant!
Well – this is certainly a sweet poem – adore you word play and the mood captured!
I never felt the laze of LLLLs quite so much as here, though they are not devoid of desire . . .
so lovely…
Some days are more slow than others can’t be upbeat every day,
Wonderful sound and word play, De.
Long sigh from me ~~ as I sip my second mug of coffee this morning.
Slow days can be enjoyable.
My favorite kind of day described by a favorite poet! Loved or interview too, by the way, de!! ❤
