Tom Cunningham Poet Alliteration

Rst

RUGOPS
ravenous rugops 
roars repeatedly running ~
rhabdodon retreats 

STARS
silver specks shimmer
spectacular shining spheres ~
solar system stars

TREKKING
trekking the terrain 
through the tranquil trodden trail  ~
'tween thorny thistles

John Watt August 7, 2020 at 10:44 AM So happy to see this win a top placement, Tom. I mentioned the dinosaurs earlier but neglected to say that I'm also a lover of the night sky and hiking trails, so this won a triple crown for me!

John Watt July 27, 2020 at 6:51 PM Loved reading this, Tom. You demonstrate a sound knowledge of dinosaurs (thanks for the Rugops and Rhabdodon definitions).

Tom

Joanna Daniel July 23, 2020 at 10:55 PM So well done, this form was sure difficult, learnt something about rugops and rhabdodon:) sure to place high, Tom:) Tom Cunningham July 24, 2020 at 12:23 AM Thank you Jo, doing one isn't too bad it's when you have to do two others either side but I Landed lucky. Tom

Michelle Faulkner July 23, 2020 at 8:34 PM I'm glad you had the definition of 'rugops' - I thought it was something out of Dr Seuss! But I do like the 'trekking' one the best- Tom Cunningham July 24, 2020 at 12:22 AM Thank you Michelle, I came across that one by accident and luckily further down was another with the syllable count I was after. Thistles I can cope with its the deadly nightshade ones that you really have to avoid. Tom

Carolyn Devonshire July 23, 2020 at 12:51 PM This is a delight to read and I learned something new about dinosaurs, too! Excellent use of alliteration throughout all three.

Jenna Logan July 22, 2020 at 2:24 PM Nice Haiku, Tom. That last one sounds a bit dangerous for trekking. They're all well done. Tom Cunningham July 22, 2020 at 2:40 PM Thank you Jenna, try as you might to avoid them they still get you. Tom
