alliteration flirtation

artwork by liliane danino

life has slithered sideways

slipping on its steamy slimy underbelly

skipping skillfully through the shadows

           that’s why 

this dizzy and diverse ditzy dame

decides to dabble devotedly

in a daily dose of whimsical words

[Bhuyanshi Talukdar]

Your poem is a playful and whimsical exploration of the twists and turns of life, and the ways in which we navigate its challenges and joys. The use of alliteration, such as "slipping on its steamy slimy underbelly," creates a sense of both movement and texture, while the imagery of "skipping skillfully through the shadows" adds a touch of lightness and grace. Your words convey a sense of both humor and resilience, and the final lines, "this dizzy and diverse ditzy dame / decides to dabble devotedly / in a daily dose of whimsical words," are both charming and inspiring. Your poem is a testament to the power of language to lift our spirits and to help us find our way in the world.

Whimsical to the bones, powerful message to men and clones, artistic in shapes and tones.
Wowzy!

You are no ditzy dame lydi**. Far from it, though you have given your readers some splendid alliteration which slips of the tongue this morning. I like your whimsy. I couldn’t check on your posted artwork. The site is misbehaving, so I will have to return later. Have a great Tuesday.

I've been having difficulty on the site as well. Oh, there are those who would disagree with your assessment of my "ditziness" :) Thanks so much for the visit, Chris. Lydi**

Astounding, alliterative assonance, excellently exemplified in stellar symmetry, literal, lyrical loveliness Lydia! 🥧

[Lydia Shutter]

Ditzy dame??? Well, I'll let it slip slide away with whimsy this time, but do it again and you be slip sliding away to your naughty step of sin M'lady, O! (My mum used to say M'laddie'O! With added exclamation to show how serious she was. I wish I'd asked her how she spelt it though 😊
A lovely and whimsical piece, with yet another pic that only adds to the story.
Keep with the whimsy Lydi... I hear it keeps the heart young. 😊

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed it does, Lorry. By the way, spelling does not count in memory...an old teacher told me that! :) Thanks for the visit and the smiles. Lydi**

Lydi, if you're not careful, you're going to end up like Dave Brown (See his latest).
