POETREE

alee_grrl & jjhunter

Let's play a game in the comments today. Offer a prompt by starting a new comment thread with your chosen word or phrase in the subject line. Answer prompts that inspire you with a single sentence using as much alliteration as possible (sometimes it is impossible to have all the words start with the same sound). There are no limits on how many prompts you can offer or answer, and more than one person is welcome to answer a particular prompt.

Or in more appropriate language,

Admins advance an alliterative activity for this association's amusement. Whisper words with which wandering wordsmiths may weave wondrous wordplay. Pick a prompt to play, and structure statements starting with selected suggestions.

An excellent example of elegant expression is this video excerpt from V for Vendetta.

diction (dikSHən), noun: the choice and use of words and phrases in speech or writing

dicty (diktē), adjective: ostentatiously stylish; pretentious

delight (diˈlīt), noun: great pleasure

For our next community themed week, we are abandoning any pretense at dignity whatsoever in favor of five fabulous days of unabashed wallowing in words wonderful words. Drawing inspiration from this anon poll of the same name, let's celebrate what makes diction scintillate. In poetry or prose, recording or poetic complement, let's share memories, musings, meetings, meta, mottoes, meanings, meanderings, materials and more - whatever moves you, whatever delights you, whatever you'd like to share that feels fitting for this week's theme.

If you would like to participate, please comment on this post to claim a particular open slot and briefly tease us with some sense of what you'll post. You may also use the comment section to solicit collaborators for a group post.
