Zany Zoo - Zanaggagings - A Tongue Twister

Tammy Towser takes twelve tame tigers to town.

Wendy Walsh washes weary walruses while watching Walter.

Walter wears wonky white wellingtons with wide wheels.

He halts, he hovers, he hedges, he falls;

Falling face first into Tammy Towser's tigers.

Now noise erupts, running and raging from the rampage of riot.

Walter decides those wellingtons are not fit

For the zoo.



This is a twisted tongue twister with a poem twist to the usual soundings.



Welcome to the Poetic Exploration Workshop Session 2. I'm glad that you are continuing in our journey to learn different forms of poetry. All poetry should be newly written for each assignment. The fifteenth form in our workshop is Tongue Twistwe. If you have any questions pertaining to the assignment, please post your questions for discussion in an O.T. (Off Topic) thread at "Poetic Exploration Discussion Forum" . Please see Syllabus I: "Syllabus I" .

For this lesson you'll be creating a Tongue Twister. : A Tongue Twister poem is made up of lines/verses that are hard to say when read aloud by using similar consonant sounds in succession (use of alliteration). In other words, the poem ties your tongue into knots. This form does not require end or internal rhyme. From: http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/twister.html

Please post your completed Tongue Twister poem in {bitem: xxxxxxx} or {entry: xxxxxx} format to the thread titled: Lesson 16/Session#2 - Tongue Twister that I set up on the discussion page found here . Here is the example I wrote: "Portraits ~ Tongue Twister" . You can find another example posted here: "Lost Louie - Tongue Twister" .
