I really like this. Just stumbled a bit on accumulator.
That’s helpful feedback–thank you!
No problem. I’m only a newbie poet myself, but thought you might like to know. 🙂
I lie the way you begin w/ word collector and end w/ meaning maker. The pairings that work best for me are the ones that alliterate or incorporate another sound device, such as assonance or consonance. I also like the rhythm of this collection.
I was trying to play some with assonance and consonance after reading that section in Mary Oliver’s Poetry Handbook. Thank you for noticing!
This is a brilliant poem. That ending…meaning maker! Yes!
Thank you, Margaret! It was fun to accumulate words.
This is fun! Like Glenda, I really love the lines with alliteration. Especially that last line- wow, wow, wow!
It was more fun to write than expected. I am starting to enjoy this daily challenge.
Love. Love. Love. Absolutely brilliant. It makes sense that a poem about a word collector would be full of delicious words. It also made me think about the possibility of getting young poems to play with describing something in so many ways in a poem. It isn’t an easy task. I loved the two word lines, each ending with an -er noun.
I think a format like this would work well to describe any activity. I’m discovering that I like writing list poems, which isn’t surprising given how much I like a list slice!
Love this! Lingering on the line motif maker…
Thanks!
