    The Nothingness
    Rippling rivers
    assist asterisks
    decoratively descend
    on oceans
    slithering skin.
    Snow strikes
    plaid pajamas
    like lollipops 
    tethered together,
    waiting with
    anticipation, after
    beds backup
    towards tangible,
    ever eternal
    rambucksious rapture.
    Septic sounds
    litter lolls
    over odd
    timely transformations.
    Divine divisions
    control chaos
    in intrepid
    valorous visions
    born beautifully.
    Jittery Jazz
    plays piano
    soothing sounds
    invoking information.
    Souls spirited
    graciously, glee
    drums differently.
    Former frequencies
    above abyss,
    into intolerable
    nothingness noise.
    Fallen flaccid
    into industrial 
    strength sleeves
    let live
    compassion, created
    from fasteners,
    especially emaciated.

    Boldly Beautiful! this poem is great. the structure isn't something i've seen that much before. maybe shel silverstein back in the day, but wow, this is great. I was trying to figure out what it all meant, but nonetheless, i enjoyed the wordplay and the alliteration.

    Thanks so much. You nailed it.. It's just a play on words using the same letter in a two word structure.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
