Literary Tongue Twister

Literary Tongue Twister


Although assonance makes a certain sound

Be the bard boldly banging beats on the boards

Carefully count cadence considering conssonance 

Dramatically determine down beats don't drop dactyls

Ever even endlessly effects epigrams 

Find the foot follow the form

Get a genre between Gothic novel and goth poetry

Hopefully its hyperbole-- hungry enough to eat a horse

 Ironic the image of inches of iamb in a foot

Jah we be jamming justifying juxtaposition 

Kant and Kierkegaard kibitzing to koinania

Learn the lexicon or lightly lilt a limerick 

Mete out miles and meters of metaphysical metaphors 

Now narrative nonets need nine nouns

Omnimatopea or omniscient overview

Producing palindrome or paradox produces paroxysms

Refrain not from rhyme and rhythm help me rondeau help help rondel

Sibilantly stuffing syntax and symbolism into my soliloquy

The theme of this text is the tongue firmly in cheek

Us unreliable narrators use understatment to understand utopia

Veritable villian I've been to use versimltude in verse

Well without wit where would we be?

Out of ideas for x, y, and z I mean Zed, eh!?!
