Vowels

Wow, vowels, vowels! God spells vowels out and they turn into verses, tales and novels about the fall, the banishment, about the last goodbuys to innocence. The vowels of interjections that you spell before you overflow over the edge, my goddess, turn into a new heaven. Two, three, four, not, five spikes of the pleasure! A black bodice is on the floor. The big-eyed mirror spies on the immodest shadows. The avowals of love and a discreet, a clockwise rise of the new passion. Vowels, vowels, vowels!

btw, thanks for commenting on my first sonnet posted here. I had written many sonnets before coming here and many more since. That just happened to be my first sonnet I decided to post. Though sonnet writing is easy to me now, I almost feel like I am going backward, writing more common ones and not ones as elegant as that one of mine you commented on!

this was a fun read, Kurt. As an ESL teacher, I love teaching about them. Did you know that we have more than twice the vowel SOUNDS of Spanish speakers? That is why they have such a hard time with our vowels starting out! BRits have 14 vowel sounds and Americans only 13! I liked the way you got avowals in there too!

My question: What good is a vowel without a towel? // Said the owl: What a howl! // Then ate beans and moved his bowels. ~ A little bathroom humor starring 'Vowels, vowels, vowels!' by Having-a-good-time-vishing-you-were-here! :) gw
