There are not any letter errors;
but there are homophone substitutions and abbreviations;
neither are Lexigrammatically correct/valid."Malachite Tale"

_______________________________
You used the word "ALIT", twice.
The word "ALIT" is often used in an archaic yet rather incorrect way; to mean light up as in visual light and not the correct version; weight light.
However I deem this archaic error use as OK enough for Lexigramming due to its antiquated use albeit, incorrect use.
ALIT
Word Origin & History
alight "to descend, dismount," O.E. alihtan, from a- "down, aside" (see a- (1)) + lihtan "get off, make light" (see light (v.)).
alit definition by American Heritage Dictionary
alit
Variant of alight
intransitive verb alighted or alit, alighting
to get down or off; dismount
to come down after flight; descend and settle
Rare to come (on or upon) accidentally
Origin: Middle English alighten ; from Old English ālīhtan ; from a-, out, off plush līhtan, to dismount, render light ; from liht: see light (to dismount)
_______________________________
You could transform your creation into
an actual Lexigram by:
replacing these lines/words as illustrated here:
First off;
change your title to read "dreams, plural; instead of the singular word; dream.
That was you acquire the letter "S"
needed so that you can use the correct word for what you meant;
which is SITE.
Malachite Dreams.
quote:
He met me late at the malachite SITE
Eliminate the incorrect word HI
which you used in lieu of the word HIGH.
Change this line:
quote:
Aim HI at the Acme Tile
to this line:
quote:
Aim at the Acme Tile
The word acme
refers to the word high,
which you cannot use.
acme
ac·me
ˈakmē/
