I show her the poem
with the noisy words
building to a crescendo.
My scribbled paean, foolishly trying
to say these things to her

by others, in ink on paper.
“Maybe I should tone all of this down some?”, I propose.
She smiles and says, “I like the clamor just the way it is.”

You are welcome Dood! I was familiar with the word, but it's one of those words where the pronunciation seems to trip me up frequently. It has a lot of vowels - LOL! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
