Devonne Brown

Eutony: n. The pleasantness of a word’s sound.

Your words are
the sound of kindness.
The quiet of falling leaves
flutter and whirl,
Orange and red ride the wind and glide to the ground.
They have the shove of love behind each one.
bright yellow winged
yet crimson when passed under the shade of the other
each one part of your poem.
The sound you can almost hear
When the trees let their burdens go.
