Alliteration Contest Poems: Prayer Breakfast, Michael Helsem

Michael Helsem was born in Dallas in 1958. Shortly afterwards, fish fell from the sky.

Prayer Breakfast

Alizarin zip back

Yaldabaoth creel

Xeric dew were

Entire vestige fade

 

Unless grim time

Has saved iridescence

Respendent jonquil

Quisling keyhole paid

 

Lucky our moment now

Not mere oligarch

Looms puissant Kriegspiel

Quite jolly rodent

 

I saw heinous

Thugs gobble up

Fire voracious eaves

Woven dire xyster

 

Culls your barrows

Zymurgic America
