Jeff Kyser Poet Alliteration

Lost and Found

Lingering longingly, lost love laments
Obstreperous outrage, overintense
Sorrowful solitude, sad, sluggish since
Tumultuous tantrums, terrible, tense

Amorous affections ambivalent
Nerve numbness nearing, now needs nourishment
Dissatisfied, disengaged, discontent

Flaunting flirtations, furtive fleet flashes
Overt optimist, outsized, outlandish
Unlimited upside, unwound, unselfish
Normalcy now, no neuroses nightmarish
Dazedly dreams, delights, daringly dashes

Ann Foster March 17, 2022 at 2:18 PM Excellent. I love the FOUND the most. Ann Jeff Kyser March 17, 2022 at 2:22 PM Yeah, trying to get lost love turning back to found love was a little rough, especially with 'O' and 'U'! Thanks!
