We need some comic relief, folks... At least I do..

This MAY be a month for some FunniNess... Whatcha think?

Shall we toss in a little imagery for good measure? Some Alliteration, Assonance, whatever?

Munda's helping out - She's always good for a laugh...

Hey Nan, I don't want to sound dumb or anything, but, what is Alliteration, Assonance? I did my Villanelle.

Dear "Teach",
Alliteration, assonance, imagery, and, comic relief? (Does it get any better than this?).
I can hardly contain myself.I better get out by the go-round with Marge before I plumb explode!

Leave it to Marge to plot a way to go outside and play while the rest are working amusingly away at some di-versified amusement...

Justin Genious... We'll be happy to have you brighten up the place...

Here are a couple of examples of imagery for you, SmartChickie...

Alliteration is simply the repetition of consonant sounds in verse.  "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"..... It doesn't have to be every word in a line - just enough to set a repetitive pattern.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within verse. "Tall feet, short feet/Feet, Feet, Feet/How many different feet you meet"

Onomatopoeia is the use of words that are spelled much like they sound. Pop - Bang - Woof - Meow - Moo - Woosh - and all those great "Batman" words...ZONK!!!

Watch out for exploding Mooses, everyone!!...

Do you mean something like this, Miss Nan?

Slick sly red haired fox
Sneaking sliding upon rocks
Laying sleeping in a box

I tried to post in here Miss Nan, but somehow it seems I need written permission, so instead I have posted my topic here: /pip/Forum69/HTML/001921.html

A thousand and one apologies Miss Mysteria, but I couldn't help myself after your comment here in the Workshop when you said your brain was in a knot and how easily you laugh. I suppose you are an inspiration!
