Consonance
What hopeless and hapless dreams be pinned
The wistful and wishful of wantings penned
A magic in the tragic of what world brings
From pulse and pierce of perfect pearled strings
Thus, the sentient sentiments sequenced
By the pride, prejudice, or pretense
Are chaffed and challenged to wit
By reality’s grating and grainy grit
Within the lyrical and lilting lines
Repeating rhymes in rhythmic time
The hidden bidden to be heard
One wonder of the written word
The tripping, tricky, and sticky tones
The greatest and latest in words alone
A mystical, mythical, magical part
A proverbial product of pronounced art
Precocious and playful preambles
As elegant and eloquent rambles
As little, laughing lines in resonance
Are wrapped and robed in consonance

Tricky things, those words! You are so clever! I enjoyed the flow of this one. Well done, dear Brad!
Thank you, my dear friend! The overuse of alliteration makes it feel like a tongue twister. ❤
fun form and style -very clever
Thank you, Beth! It is one of my favorites.
Very musical, flowing and rhythmic and I truly felt in tune with these verses: “The hidden bidden to be heard/One wonder of the written word…” Brilliant my friend!
Thank you kindly, my brother! That means a lot to me!
Nice aliteration and rhyme!
Thank you, Liam!
Beautifully lyrical alliteration here, Brad. Another literary gem.
Thank you, my friend!
