Ask not the place.
Electric guitars in time.
Inherit not rights.
Greasing heavens door.
Furthermore my love.
Set your hair not in a hurry.
John the Baptists neck,
Dawns break in a worry.
Such as,
That ungodly radio.
Hammers west coast waves.
A blighter parataxis.
Furthermore my love.
As Jesus Christ abounds equals equal being worth.
Catharses catharsis beauty bastions new ground work.
Something for everybody.
A join in synergy.
Inherit rights.
Purging King Saul's neurosis.
Dear Alliteration,
First friend, foremost;
Forgetting not,
Shy Allegory,
Dressed in Allusion;
Sweet Anaphora,
How I need thee!
How I need thee!
And Assonance;
Never deep asleep,
Nor rest Refrained,
By Caesura;
Clever Chiasmus;
Who has pause to write,
And write to pause;
Cheeky Consonance,
Agreeing;
Time needs its tick-tock,
Rocked at chimes;
How Didactic,
An Ictus,
Ellipsis,
Is that?
Clink — tinkle;
Cubes in a glass;
Bourbon mist;
Hello;
Onomatopoeia is back,
From visiting,
Palindrome,
At Lake Oxoboxo,
Madam Eve,
Our favorite,
Paradox,
Not pair a ducks,
Nor Parataxis,
She quacked not;
She waddled not;
She flew not;
End stopped;
Did not,
Run into Enjambment,
Iambic,
Pentameter,
On foot nearby;
Rhyme Royal chanting;
Prose babbling,
Out of line,
Screaming;
Vers libre!
Vers libre!
Pathos,
Pity me;
Scan not,
My prosody;
Bravo!
The coins are tossed;
O my dear friends,
In poetry,
Therein lay,
Our Eulogy,
Paradise Lost.
