Notes About The Poem

"Alliterative Rhyme" this is a unique form akin to Head Rhyme or Initial Rhyme (Cross Rhyme and Random Rhyme also apply). Many other options are possible. This form uses nine syllable lines employing three link words in each line along with three same first letter rhyming different words throughout the poem. Any single letter (or sound) can be used in this form.

Leading With L

Lately I have likely been leaning
Towards penning lots of lofty lines
And start looking for lonely lagoons
To pick laurels, lilacs and lilies
Frogs leaping into languid, lush ponds
Ducks landing lightly on silent lakes
Lilting laments from past lovely times
Images of lost lands lingering on
