Unnamed

Crystal clear clarity cuts with a capricious confoundment


Snared by the smooth soundness of the siren song


Hours hasten and the hunt is heightened in hunger


Pitch piercing the pharynx like a pernicious pike 

 

The reverberations recede but the reticence rages

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Haven't written in a long time. A bit of a rough draft.

Hello. If I may..

Hello. If I may, I'd like to comment on your favorite writers you list on your profile:

Leo Tolstoy - missing an r. Should be Leo Tol story.

Ernest Hemingway - how much did Ernest Heming way? Stop Heming Ernest, start Hawing. 

James Agee - James A? Gee!

Boris Pasternak -he came from Russia, with love. Ask a doctor, no?

Nathaniel Hawthorne - was a fan of good ol' country humor. Nathaniel ❤️ He Haw thorne.

That's enough for now. Is that all writ er s, with you?

 

By the way, HOPELESSLY CANDID = DC A-HOL DYS IN SLEEP

Who are they? They remain unnamed.

Unnamed? I like it!

Well, here's a find! Truly

Well, here's a find! Truly enjoyed this. There's an exciting, rumbling, somewhat haunting energy in this innovative experiment with alliteration and surprise.

 

This line is particularly effective for its pounding suspense, emotive consonant sounds and lunging movement:  

 

"Hours hasten and the hunt is heightened in hunger"  

 

A sensational, thrilling experience. Loved every moment!

I am very glad to applaud

I am very glad to applaud your return, and this is a mighty fine poem on which to return.  The alliteration is very skillfully deployed.  I especially like the final line---it brings a very eerie feeling to the poem's conclusion.  I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thank you so much, Starward!

Thank you so much, Starward! I'm glad the last line read as eerie - I actually wasn't sure about it. It feels good to be be back and write again.
