The trail drones on as bee until it stings me to a quiver
Hermetic trills oneiric bells clamour-call to muse liver
Emergent words select themselves, infuse with a honeyed click
Surprised each time at ideal choice. I cackle until I hic
A clever muse she daisy-chains the ponies in formation
Umbrella chants while ponies dance in polished exultation
Recipients the audience who browse green field and ooh-ahs
Unimpede the strain of limits in one’s limited wee cerebrum
Stroll the scroll of limitless plucks and clicks of a thesaurus!
Will polish this one up later, but here it is in its rough draft form. Happy National Thesaurus Day!
Laura is today’s host for dVerse’ Poetics. Laura says:
For today’s prompt:
1. Write a SOUND POEM which includes AT LEAST ONE from EACH of the FIVE HEARING CATEGORY SELECTIONS below: (reference the hearing words you chose in your post).
bellow; clink; drone; jingle; quiver;
clamour; dissonant; rip-roaring; tempestuous; vociferous;
dulcet: honeyed; poetic; sonorous; tonal;
blabber; cackle; dribble; gurgle; seethe;
beseech; chant; drawl; embellish; intone
Feel free to dip deeper into your chosen words by elaborating further from the Thesaurus with synonyms and antonyms
AND/OR
2. Simply write about the Thesaurus, as the above poets have – what it means to you; describe it, have fun with it. Let the synonyms flow, or antagonise with antonyms.
There are no restrictions on poetry style or meter but those of you who like Acrostics might want to make a nine liner for THESAURUS.
