Angela Terry Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Open the Door and Enter the World of Possibilities Poetry Contest sponsored by Sara Kendrick

One Letter of the Alphabet

The lovely letter L
labors around us
with lithe liberty.

The lovely letter L
lords itself in silence
over ladies who love elegance.

The lovely letter L
loves little names
like Lia, Liam, and Lana.

The lovely letter L
lands upon English
like lace that litters a lake.

Moon Harp June 8, 2026 at 8:25 PM Very clever, Angela! This is so well written. I like the double take on L in the word elegance. And, of course, your last line is a zinger! Moon Harp Angela Terry June 9, 2026 at 12:36 AM Thank you!
