A Sprinkle of Muse

Before I begin I must sprinkle some muse The main ingredient for the words I'll choose I'll add in some metaphors with a sprig of thyme Then I'll add in two cups of rhyme I'll then drop a pepper into the pot And slices of sadness to make you tear up I'll even add assonance, perhaps just a cup There will be passion as the poem gets hot A bit of personification with tomatoes I'll then stew I'll add a teaspoon of alliteration too This dish will be spicy just by default I'll sprinkle my similes with a pinch of salt With limericks, a dash of humor is thrown Hope it will tickle your funny bone With syllable count not a vowel to waste My poem is cooked please take a taste!
