Consonance

An Iambic tetrameter verse. Consonance: In literature: the recurrence of similar sounds, especially consonants, in close proximity.

Consonance

Beclogged his mind attempted to

assemble words and make them rhyme

two chicks inside his dancing shoe

arpeggios sang about lunchtime.

The consonance of birdie chirps

commixed with his tenor vox

to harmonize with gurgling burps,

the gulps of beer and chicken squawks.

With half unfolded, haggard eyes

he dragged to the kitchen fridge,

should dormant senses misadvise

cause grogshops intellects abridge.

Four sizzling, with butter, eggs

prepared thereon the ferrous cast

were ravened as the froth in kegs

quixotically quelled, unglassed.
