Super Souper 9-16-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Souper

Super Soupers wrangle rhymes
 into verses quite sublime
Taming wild-eyed metaphors
 into iambic strophes galore
Lassoing doggy ironies
 with clever lines, entendre ease
Galloping alliterations
 corralled by personifications
Silencing cacophony
 with gentle mooing euphony
Bucking wild imagery
 herded into symmetry
Stampeding loco thin illusions
 bulldogged into chutes of allusions
Bad hoss herds of assonance
 saddled for a dressage dance
Bucking broncos hyperbole
 Juxtaposed by analogy
Anaphoras on loco weed
 settle into quatrain reads
Super Soupers let words rip
 in rodeos of craftmanship.

Dear samszy! You never fail to amaze with how exquisitely you weave words, loving the creative alliterations and word pairings and also how youv written “ Silencing cacophony with gentle mooing euphony” i think many can resonate with that! I surely do try to silence cacophony with gentle euphony! Soupers are definitely very talented and gifted! And they know what they are writing about. Its been a pleasure getting to know so many kind talented souls like you to samszy! Best wishes! Sending you light always

This is a fun and yet serious poem, Sam; it highlights the varied virtues and capabilities of fellow Soupers, and at the same time puts on show your technical knowledge of poetry writing. ~ Best regards // paul

Hi Paula! "Soupers" are truly an extraordinary group of writers! It was so much fun to celebrate us as we tame the artistry of writing poetry like a buckaroo tames a wild horse. So glad you enjoyed the rodeo! Sending you "souper" blessings.
