This is not a post! It is totally misplaced. It is, of course a review, but of which piece of work? I realise you durst not say, fearing instant mutation (Yes I know that should be muting) but three syllables has to be better than two surely.
You have done all of us reviewers a great service with this. In future all we need to do when awarding fewer than five stars is to paste it into the review box and everything is taken care of apart from remembering to switch the blinders on.

haha... you are welcome to cut and paste to your heart's content. I'll remain inscrutably immutable, defying mutant ninja turtles.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Wow! What a mouthful of alliteration here Lisa! This reminded me of that orator at the old time music hall who would choose long complicated words to describe each act he introduced. I thought this was lots of fun, well thought out and very entertaining, a well deserved six for you, love Dolly x

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald

Thank you for not choking on my wordiness.

Wonderfully wry, whimsical, witty wordiness!
-
I think you should enter that new alliteration contest.

Cleverness Comparison? Couldn't Come Close!
Comment from Patty Palmer
Hey, can I buy a vowel before you use them all up? This was something out of the ordinary and I have no idea what half of them mean! LOL Therefore this was very entertaining for me! But then, it doesn't take much to entertain me. lol Hope you're having a great day!

Haha... you'd better get in quick... going cheap.
I spent most of the day pushing weird words around to make sense, entertaining myself. Meanwhile, the lawn needs mowing, the dishes are unwashed, my bed is still unmade.

LOL! I didn't realize it was a contest at first but then I saw another entry like yours. Now I'm trying my hand at it. I love these silly little contests that are off the wall. Patty

I didn't enter this poem in a contest. When one of my reviewers saw my poem she set up a contest for alliteration. Good on you for giving it a go... i look forward to your entry.
Comment from Beverly A McBride
I had to chuckle at this. How did you manage to string together this poem. I hope you do some kind of Words With Friends Games, for you would win them all with this vocabulary! Good job. Good luck in the contest. I had several favorite phrases, But I liked " Edifyingly erudite epistles energetically expostulate with earnest integrity; lesser lamentably illiterate lines languish limply, lost as demented dross." Holy cow!

Thanks for your terrific review. This isn't entered in a contest. Another writer contacted me to say she had initiated a new prompt after she read my poem. I think creating this one has sucked me dry, but I might look at the contest tomorrow.
-
OH, I just saw the new contest posted and thought that was an entry. I wondered how you got that up and posted so quickly. It looked pretty time consuming to me. Ha. You can enter it now, Perhaps?

Cindy reviewed my alliteration poem then decided to put up a prompt. Once a poem is posted and gets reviews it can't be put in a contest... but it looks like her prompt only allows for repetition of one-letter alliteration anyway, not all sorts of different sentences.
Comment from lyenochka
Your vocabulary is amazing, LisaMay! And that you could even make sense with such long lines with so many alliterative and LONG words is a remarkable feat. It's good you could stomach both the dictionary and thesaurus! Your parents gave you such a wonderful literary foundation for writing!

It's a curse sometimes, when I see or hear other people using words incorrectly.
Thank you very much for the additional pump!
Comment from Cindy Decker
Lisa,
I really like your alliteration poem! Those are my absolute favorite poems to write!
Let's have a duel sometime, lol, when I'm a little more adept at poetry.
Thank you for the blurb about New Zealand. It must be a beautiful country.
I love the photo and its ink art.
Good luck in your next contest and in all your writing endeavors.

Thanks for your review, Cindy. I mangle alliteration quite often - a duel would be fun.
-
Lisa, I won 3rd place for an alliteration poem I created for my nephew. Your poem gave me an idea. I just want to tell you, you are really good at alliteration poems. I created an alliteration contest and hope you?ll enter. I?m taking a small break so I won?t enter this week.
Have a really nice day, Lisa
Cindy

Nice idea to initiate a prompt for an alliteration contest - I fear I have drained my battery with this long-winded one!
I hope your break is an enjoyable one, if that is the intention.
-
I?ll still be on fanstory, Lisa, only not as much. Thank you.😊
