Accentual Verse

[milo]

That's what Hugh did for the telephone thread? That may be my favorite, he did a great job of it, what a fun poem to read, some great lines.

Well, it's not alliterative verse if that's what you were suggesting.

Here is a piece of modern alliterative verse written by peter j. Ross:


Riddle

Born in a barrow, the beast full-grown
was rude and irrational. Ridden never,
nor prey-deprived, he preached a gospel
to farmers, confounders, fools and bowyers,
and tallied their tithes. The tusks are mine,
he would say, that sundered sea from the land,
food from the firmament; the feet mine too,
hard and hazardous, huntsman-slaying,
that cut down Calvary; cooks, read this
for my dressing.
