Wow this is brilliant. I'd think this form of writing would be a tad difficult for me!

Hi Gayle! Thank you for the 'brilliant' comment:) Alliteration is not as hard as you make it out to be; you'll get there, a step at a time:) I still remember commenting on your 1st post @ Soup and your sense of humour. Regards // paul

I'm not very good at Alliteration Paul, but you excel in any form of poetry my dear friend, and this is a perfect example. Would it be presumptuous of me to presume that you have particular peculiar powers of perception yourself? You describe it so well Paul. Good luck in the contest...Maria

Thank you, Maria. Who said you're not good at alliteration?:) You just gave a perfect example of one! Unfortunately this failed to make the finals. Warm regards // paul

I 'sense' a wonderful winner here Paul. Such a perfect, precious and 'proud of you' write :) Psychological and perceptive in an extraordinary way, I'm pleased to predict that your proficient poem will place well :)) I enjoyed your ingenious and polished write.

I have faith in your sixth sense, Susan! I think that in this case your alliteration rubbed off on me:) It wasn't my initial idea to use only one letter throughout, but my muse has a mind of her own and got her way. Thank you for the heartening comments. ~ Warm regards // paul

Hey Paul! Nice to see you got your entry done! A great example using the single letter throughout - and a real tongue-twister, too!! Good luck with the contest! Regards, John.

Paul Callus
Date: 12/5/2017 10:59:00 AM

Thank you, John...it IS a tongue-twister...tried reading it aloud and did not find it at all easy! Best regards // paul
