Work. Wonder. Write!

Experience. Examine. Express.

Wrestle with wooing worries and wars.

Wage wealth of wombed wishes and whys.

Work.

Wallow in writer's wanton wanderlust.

Worship worthy wounds of wayward weights.

Wonder.

Warrant a wardrobe of weathered words.

Wed to wisdom's weapons.

Write!

Author's Note

I thought of playing with alliteration but it seems that I ended up writing a tongue twister with some depth. Well, I hope this makes sense somehow.

A very cool piece...I love alliteration, especially when it's done right, and you've worked it to perfection here...a lovely work that doesn't take itself too seriously, and a joy to read...well done Arzel :)

Thank you so much, Kublakhan! It's a joy to read your reviews.

Some great alliteration going on here, and you choose a good, uncommon letter to go with! The bit about Wonder above and beyond surpasses the others, the word play is top notch, and the usage of wanton wanderlust and wayward weights is some top-notch writing. Gems that you would have likely never thought of if you were not challenging yourself with a structure! (One of the reasons that I feel the modern trend away from structured poems is unfortunate, because it doesn't challenge you to create new combinations!) >_> My attempt at the idea seems to lack cohesion, even if it does maintain coherence. Withering Worries Wrack Waywardly Wiretapped Whispers Waxing Winter's Woes Whimsically With Wilding Wormwood Wherefore Wanes Witwanton Wyrds Wordbound! I now hate Ws...

Oh, and I love your description, goes great with the theme!

Nusquam, I now really believe you always do things right the first time. :) Thank you for your reviews. They are intelligent, encouraging, and constructive.

Flattering as always... ;) And it is not always, but you can get far on most things with a quick mind and good coordination. Now if only I was better at motivating myself, because it seems I am also really good at procrastinating! In the end, experience trumps the naturally adept. Keep up the good work, and I am going to fall behind... ;)

[Blue]

Naah, I'm not flattering you. I'm just airing out how talented you really are. Imagine, a cook? I can't even come up with an edible fried egg!!! Now I'm ashamed. ;)

I agree with the wise advice in the poem.
"Warrant a wardrobe of weathered words.
Wed to wisdom's weapons.
Write!"
Nice use of the language gave reason and purpose for the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A tongue twister of a write...
I remember doing one with all W's --- in my first book...
Seems you had an inspiration to do one with "W"...
in mind and concept with this work...Arzel...

[Blue]

Thank you so much,Glen!

[Glen Yumang Manese]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to use "W's"...I actually made mind into a sonnet...harder format...but you did well with what was wrapped into this write...just put a few "w's" in there...

[Blue]

Haha, good to know someone has already ventured on this before me. I'm glad you dropped by, Glen. Good luck with your writing career. :)
