This was amazing, I can't believe you did this, and so well, I wouldn't know where to start with this challenge, a worthy winner. Well done, brilliant!

Congratulations on your contest win, Steve
You started out with a good decision to make this a humorous poem since all that alliteration will make anything sound silly anyway
excellent use of abcb rhyme with some very clever rhyming pairs

Thanks, Brooke.

I would have agreed with you about the best way to go being humour, but I have to say I was really impressed with the runner-up poem by Justjo - she did a wonderful job of describing the sequence of the seasons in free verse.

Just the chuckle factor got me home on this one.

To the author of "An L of a Love-Story". You have my vote. Unbelievable! This little poem and photo cartoon is just awesome. Carole

Hi,

This is really good, cleverly constructed. Something you didn't whip up in a couple of minutes.

The best of luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings,

Thanks, Jax

Took all of half an hour once I'd thrown out the first version and started all over again!

This challenge is intense. I doubt I could pull this off. So hats off to you for attempting it.

And with that said, this poem is amazing.

Great choice of a letter for this alliteration, and great word choices.

My tongue got all tangled up as I read ... and I wasn't even reading aloud!

My goodness, Steve, this is a massive feat of alliteration.

Won't be surprised if this wins.

Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Thanks, Sonali.

Yes, we have a winner, but only just - the runner up was a super piece of poetry too.

I'm impressed. Every single word starts with the same letter. I especially liked the "lecherous leprechauns leap-frogging lavishly" Great job on a difficult assignment.

Wow; quite a feat finding this many "L" words that actually make sense when strung together. This is a crazy-fun tongue twister and you have my vote. But then, I'm partial to leprechauns! :D

Thank you! Your vote helped push this across the line with a little help from the luck of the leprechauns.

You gotta love a well intentioned leprechaun! :D Congratulations on your win! Well deserved.

I love the picture. I love the poem. It is a funny little ditty. The leprechauns had a hard but good time with love. Lenny had a good way with words. Good luck in the contest.

This looked very difficult to write;
A well-penned leprechauns vocabulary;
The fun rambling of these mystical little men makes for an enjoyable contest read;
Excellent!
