Super Soupers

Super Souper 9-16-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Souper

Super Soupers wrangle rhymes
 into verses quite sublime
Taming wild-eyed metaphors
 into iambic strophes galore
Lassoing doggy ironies
 with clever lines, entendre ease
Galloping alliterations
 corralled by personifications
Silencing cacophony
 with gentle mooing euphony
Bucking wild imagery
 herded into symmetry
Stampeding loco thin illusions
 bulldogged into chutes of allusions
Bad hoss herds of assonance
 saddled for a dressage dance
Bucking broncos hyperbole
 Juxtaposed by analogy
Anaphoras on loco weed
 settle into quatrain reads
Super Soupers let words rip
 in rodeos of craftmanship.

Ink Empress Date: 9/19/2024 12:15:00 AM Dear samszy! You never fail to amaze with how exquisitely you weave words, loving the creative alliterations and word pairings and also how youv written “ Silencing cacophony with gentle mooing euphony” i think many can resonate with that! I surely do try to silence cacophony with gentle euphony! Soupers are definitely very talented and gifted! And they know what they are writing about.
