My 2nd Alliterisen
Baking blueberry pie was Fay's forté
Her heavenly skills were well-known throughout New York
Her cherry chews and crispy cookies
Were wonderful; but Bob most savored her cakes
She surely knew how to tease him
Promising pound cake, carrot, and chiffon
Mulberry muffins caused their bad breakup
The Alliterisen
The Alliterisen (Complex and Rhyming), a form created by Udit Bhatia, is a simple seven-lined poem with a specific syllable pattern and two alliterations per line. For example: Glorious Graves, and wonderful waves. Alliteration is the succession of similar consonant sounds. They are not recognized by spelling, but rather by sounds.
Oh so many puns come to mind! Enjoyed this very much David.
Me too, Marion – I had to hold back when I was writing this one 😉

But your words are awesome! 🙂
🧁=🚫
That’s fun. Love it, David. 🤗❤
🍰 Jeff 🍰 – thank you!
You’re welcome, David! 🍰😋

I try to rise to all occasions! 😉
and u do it so well!👏
Sometimes I come out too full of hot air 😉
oh well, you blow us away mostly ❣️
good one!
You’re a good teacher. ❣️
Because I’m math adverse I prefer the rhyming form… but this one drew me in. Sparky loves my pies but he is not a fan of most cakes and muffins leave him cold.
It’s a good thing you already know all of that about him in advance! Best to avoid disaster 😉
I admire so much the way you can bake complex poetic forms so effortlessly into tasty verse … like this morsel right here.

I’m still struggling my way through this form, TBH… I’m not quite satisfied with my first couple of attempts… but I think it’s good to keep them as a record of my efforts 🙂
Yours,
David
For a muffin to cause a break up, means the relationship just couldn’t cut it.
He was a stud muffin, but always baked and stuffing his pie hole. The relationship got stale.
Laughing out loud hahahahaha
ha, these are a nice idea.
yeah – I came upon it purely by chance… I was just looking for something new to play with, Pete.

Shucks! Mulberry muffins caused break up? I’ll ne’er attempt to bake them. 😉

Oh I like this form! And your blueberry pie rendition of it 🙂
Alliteration is a fun, new challenge, especially with the syllable count❣️
Absolutely agree 😊
