in any case, they go well together. i appreciate the minor themes which pop up here and there on h&h.

I think i read another of sister goat’s that i liked. This one makes agile use of alliteration (same/similar beginning sounds), which i’ve always liked to use too: “tacked your tinseled hands to the loving tender tissues
(gray and grooved)”. Alliteration i think is used big-time by Romantics Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, etc.

Alliteration is a good sound device, and when used with rhyme (‘mess’-'dress’)sprinkled, assonance, and others, makes for really powerful sound poem…so much so that sound itself can write a poem…within the context of the subject matter (in this case addressed to ‘you’ a perished loved one, or lover who left, perhaps?)

It’s the ‘little things’ that make life. thx sister goat.

(just thought i’d say)

there is such thing as

TOO concrete.
