Journal 48
A Collection of New Alliterative Verse
by ArchDuke Kenneth Khanh Du

“My reflection upon the current climate which send heat waves simmering throughout time.”

New Alliterative Verse has five set parameters defined by me:
1. A couplet line poem with 20 lines or less
2. Each line contained no more than eight syllables
3. Each line has alliteration of either consonant or vowel
4. The alliteration must be tied to the next line (hence couplet)
5. Rhymed or unrhymed

Alliterative Verse as a form was adopted by me from the skalds of Norway. Skalds were the Viking's poet-musicians and their poetic form began somewhere in the 9th Century. The original form(s) with many however remain unstructured and often confusing /or ambiguous.

(3) Speech Recognition

The microphone has change

Your speech breaks chain

Fresh bloods leak from the tympanic

Membrane splatters inorganic

Park rocks break glass antimatter

We facedown archetypal blur

Burn augmented reality!

What are we fighting for? Money?

Honey, what are we doing here?

Tear down businesses, creating fear?

For the love of God, we must wait!

Let us pray.
