Rhythmic Writing - A Proposition and an Example

Experiments in rhythmic writing involve the use of rhyme, meter and/or syllabic constraints of construction to evoke layers of meaning in conversation with the semantic.

Gradual grammatical.

Sentences slip smaller.

Syllables simmer silently.

Language lists leeward.

Words without worth wobble.

Ontological offal overwhelms.

Queer queries;

Provoke persistence,

Refute resistance.

Grammar graduates.

Something settles.

Silent steps slumber.

Losses linger.

Wonder wanes.

Ovations of

Questions quiet

Pothumus promises,

Religious reliquaries.

Grammar gives.
