Reason A. Poteet Poet Alliteration

Fearing Fratricide

Freddy filched Frankie’s fav’rit fudge,
fearless Frankie flattened Freddy to the floor.
Father Fletcher fearing fratricide
fastened Frankie’s feet
firmly to the farmyard fence while friends
fixed Freddy’s fractious frame
fast to the family Ford.

Jo Chamberlain December 23, 2020 at 1:56 AM How funny, 'Frankie flattened freddy' sounds like me with my siblings growing up. Congratulations on your winning placement. Reason A. Poteet December 25, 2020 at 7:30 PM thank you, Joanna. My sister and I had our moments of meanness amidst some loving, caring times back in the 50/60's. Happy New Year.

Beata Agustin December 22, 2020 at 9:51 PM Wow! Congrats! Cheering you amidst blest Christmas spirit, while sharing with you "... the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you. Reason A.
