Runnels & Rivulets

Leaf 158 – Reflections

 

Dmitry Levin - Grace, Luxembourg


My ancestral Anglo-Saxon has an affinity for alliteration (see, Leaf 156). I often favour it as an aural device for painting imagery with words, as in this particular poem:

 

 

Runnels and rivulets

weaving whitewater 

a leaf shooting the rapids.
