Poetic Voice

by Christine Holden
(UK)

Personification shouts out in rage
Onomatopoeia crashes on to the page
Enjambment spills over the line
Themes that may be yours or mine?
Iambic pentameters drum the beat
Couplets rise bravely to the feat

Vernacular is the fuel
Oxymoron a beautiful tool
Irony brings a smile
Consonance repeats a while
Everyone has a choice

Their own poetic voice.
