Playing with Poetry

Rhythm - the recurrence of stressed and unstressed syllables
Rhyme - the pattern of rhymes used in a poem, usually marked by letters to symbolize correspondences, as rhyme royal
Alliteration - the repetition of identical or similar consonant sounds, normally at the beginnings of words
Anaphora - repetition of a word or words at the beginning of two or more successive verses, clauses, or sentences
Consonance - the repetition of similar consonant sounds in a group of words
Assonance - the repetition of identical or similar vowel sounds


On The Road Again

Traveling in this box of titanium
With gases shifting in my cranium
Alone with old tunes and a broken pedal
I sit and steer, it's nothing special
I swerve to miss as I'm lost in moments passed
As the wipers clear tears from such sad glass
Upon the roads ahead these lights shine so bright
When my mind wants to relive the night
While you left this place to a noiseless uproar
My heart is on the dashboard, sore for more
