Attempted Alliteration

It’s Meet the Bar at dVerse, and
Bjorn challenges us to try using
different types of consonance and
assonance in our poem.

********
surprised, I spied
a freewheeling fairy
gracefully gamboling today
eloquently enchanting
and adeptly agile
softly slipping away...
a nascent nymph
on a mystery mission

    "softly slipping away
    a nascent nymph
    on a mystery mission"

    That is so beautiful.

    Well, the mystery mission you end with leaves us asking for more.

    Nicely done, Bev! All the ‘igh’ and ‘I’ sounds convey the surprise, and I love the idea of a ‘freewheeling fairy’, ‘a nascent nymph / on a mystery mission’ – great use of alliteration!

    I like the thought that it is on a mystery mission.

    and adeptly agile
    softly slipping away

    Almost seen as a responsible being with definite directions out to do the expected good deed!

    A mystery mission, to remain a mystery? Nice poem!
