Bjorn is hosting Meet the Bar (MTB) challenge at dVerse today. He wants us to try using different types of alliteration, assonance and consonance in any poem of our choice and see how we can enhance the connection between the letter used and the meaning of the poem. I have used alliteration with letter ‘w’.
World of words
Warm words-
Oh yes, we covet these all the time
Wise words-
Listen we must, yet we can’t accede too much
Wild, weird words-
Despicable these are, yet as germs all-pervading
Wounded, weary words-
A cry of the heart, echoing a state of dejection
Witty words-
A dash of humour, a streak of laughter that garnishes our life
Wry, wicked words-
Seeding diffidence; challenging opinions
Wonderful words-
Words that make us come alive, making life worthwhile

I like your description of “weird words” as “as germs all-pervading”.
The pain inflicted by certain words is even worse than germs I feel. What do you think Frank? Thanks for reading 🙂
I love having the perspective to perceive all the ways words can land. The alliteration is wonderful!
We must be wary of words. They can wrap us in wrath or wonderment. Your clever write transported me onward!
Words come in so many packages… I think we need a little bit of them all, even some spice of weird words … as long as we get some wonderful words in the end
Can’t agree more! Most of the times we are able to appreciate wonderful words only because we are aware of the other form of words that can hurt or haunt us . I’m glad I was upto the prompt. Thanks Bjorn
You describe many great ways to look at words.
Wow what a beautiful creation of words from W. Too good Vandana.
love how your words mature with wisdom here, each stanza is so perfectly crafted, well done!
I’m glad I could play with words to bring out something creative that could live upto the prompt 🙂 Thanks Gina
Absolutely my pleasure
Absolutely love this response, as well as the quote.
Thank you so much 🙂
