Topic: Oh to the poets.... | |
---|---|
Drum beats roll, trumpets sound
Marching onward, shaking the ground Arrows of syllable, swords of sentences Shields of sounds and clubs of phrases Blow darts of alliteration These are the tools of the poets’ nation No rules exist in this strange land Except it must come from heart to hand Form is second to pure expression Feel free to break with convention Our daring makes grammar teachers blood run cold We are the rebels of the writing world |

I like this a lot, very nice imagery. And a great flow -- lines like "Arrows of syllable" occur far too infrequently in standard writing. A metaphor after my own heart, so to speak.
The only thing I would change would be to add an apostrophe after "teachers" because it is a possessive. |

I like the blow darts of alliteration too
One of them stuck in me and inspired the following,… (no tongue twisting now,… read it right! ) ~ Blues Darts of Alliteration ~ S1owhand sings his sultry blues with hot and horny husky hues belching burps from bubbly booze inflicting flings of things infused Slurring verse with slushy speech his steaming stogy’s smoke-ring reeks of alliterated lyrics leeched from Abra’s aberrant pen Such sexy songs of sensuous shame sung by a saucy swooning swain dancingly dangled for his darling dame whose kept in check with a candy cane That was fun. |
