My Friends In Poetry

Dear Alliteration, First friend, foremost; Forgetting not, Shy Allegory, Dressed in Allusion; Sweet Anaphora, How I need thee! How I need thee! And Assonance; Never deep asleep, Nor rest Refrained, By Caesura; Clever Chiasmus; Who has pause to write, And write to pause; Cheeky Consonance, Agreeing; Time needs its tick-tock, Rocked at chimes; How Didactic, An Ictus, Ellipsis, Is that? Clink — tinkle; Cubes in a glass; Bourbon mist; Hello; Onomatopoeia is back, From visiting, Palindrome, At Lake Oxoboxo, Madam Eve, Our favorite, Paradox, Not pair a ducks, Nor Parataxis, She quacked not; She waddled not; She flew not; End stopped; Did not, Run into Enjambment, Iambic, Pentameter, On foot nearby; Rhyme Royal chanting; Prose babbling, Out of line, Screaming; Vers libre! Vers libre! Pathos, Pity me; Scan not, My prosody; Bravo! The coins are tossed; O my dear friends, In poetry, Therein lay, Our Eulogy, Paradise Lost.
