The Poet

Even though I'm only female,

I remember from an earlier e-mail

that you are into alliteration --

a surprising situation.

For I'm sure you'll understand

I figured you for an assonance man.

You Taught me a new word! (smiles)

I had to look up assonance and me a poet who is so darn in love with words did not know this one. I love it when I learn a new word and it fits some of the sections of my own poetry. I adored this poem and know another who will enjoy what it says so I will guide him to this. Thanks again for sharing! again , sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.
