An Alliterisen
Poetry requires rich, dynamic descriptors Witty, winding words make for versatile, vivid verses Scrumptious syllables cleverly comprised of luscious letters: crispy consonants, velvet vowels Fearless phrases so saturated with mysterious meanings, pulling people into romantic realms and dreamy, dappled dimensions
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.
Gorgeous alliterations, David! โค

This mental maelstrom triggers thoughts! The velocity of vowels and consonants crashing hits my heart and strikes my soul. I am utterly undone!

lol shall we continue this dance at another time, my sweet divine ๐
I like especially the crispy consonants. And I could easily fall into that dimension! (K)
You’re welcome any time โค
I could NEVER.
On top of the syllabic structure (too complex & constraining for me) the mandatory alliterativity put this one off my list of potentials.
You, though, have not only met both of those challenges, but you’ve done so masterfully well.
Very cool, David
