May 27, 2011 - 0510

There was a break in the continuity yesterday, due to several unforeseen circumstances. Dog at the vet, water inadvertently turned off at the house. I just didn't think it was a good idea to let all of that slide just for the sake of poetry.

So, I come back tonight, slightly tired but feeling creative. Alliteration is the name of tonight's game, and I tried like the dickens to make it work as often as possible.

Almost All Alliteration After Hours
                    - or -
Picking A Particular Piece For A Poem


After arguing aloud about an absence of agua,
The tired trooper took his tuckus to bed
Rising well rested he ran his regular routine
Before bidding bye-bye to Baby and babies

Driving down dusty and dreary drives
He hoped whole heartedly for heavy amounts of humans
City sidewalks were steeped with several sots
Carousing and cavorting, all cheerful and charming

Seeing several sedans sidle southbound, he sped up
Wrong way was the why and what of the warning
Nothing notable netted; next nudnick please
But barely a brougham bounded the boulevards

The tippled took taxis towards their townhouses
Many a masterful means, making my mind mush
By bounding the byways of businesses a-bustling
Early entrants, exited early also

Lunchtime luckily loomed soon ahead
Sandwich sanctity stifled by citizens cellphone calls
Rummy running rampant in robes rustling loosely
Nowhere nearby, nothing but nature, nobody noted
