BOTTLES ~ An ANAPHORA

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

BOTTLES  of Beer and Bottles of Milk

BOTTLES  of Hand Lotion ~ smooth as silk

BOTTLES  of Water you buy at the Station

BOTTLES  of Water ~ prevent dehydraration

BOTTLES  of Sauce in the Geasy Spoon Caff

BOTTLES  of  Balsamic ? Don't make me laff

BOTTLES  of perfume on my Girlfriends dresser

BOTTLES  of aftershave ~ just to impress 'er

BOTTLES  of Pills ~ that you take every day

BOTTLES  of Uppers & Downers ~ OK 

BOTTLES  of Wine ~ when we dine "On the Cart"

BOTTLES  RED (meat) WHITE (fish) ~ I'm gastronomic SMART

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

This Poem is presented as an ANAPHORA in which each line

begins with the same WORD ~ rather like a LITANY. It is an

Elizabethan (1st) form and can be sung to Plain Chant ~ OK

        I'm glad your angst is not bottled up . You've cut them off at the bottle neck . Now that they have bottle bottom from too much cake . Your broken bottle diplomacy was from too much shake . Soon the Earth will be one big bottle dome . So raise you drink it's bottle up .

          HI SL ~ CONFUCIUS ~ He say ~ Better to drink beer straight from Bottle ~ saves water ~ glasses ~ soap and you can't dribble from a bottle ! BRIAN

            Made me think - an AMPHORA is a kind of bottle too. I was around ages ago when they invented them - so I say, in my pretence for being millions of years old! Oh vanity - it's so no-one guesses my real age! A fine write B.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks ANDY ~ WORDS ARE WONDERFUL ! An AMHORA is a Grecian Urn for holing wine an ANAPHORA is also a Greek word and it mans CARRYING BACK ~ The poetic implication is the the first word of the last line is "carried back to each preceding line ! The Greeks always have a word for it ~ BRIAN

              You always amaze me with the new forms of poetry that you come up with! I always enjoy when they rhyme. Fantastic job! I'm a recycle nut so I hope all my bottles are being reused somehow. Great poem! Hugs-Christina

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks CHRIS ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Rhyme is important help the flow when you recite. ANAPHORA poems are common in spiritual chants etc and are lovely ~ Hugs for you too BRIAN

              • Michael Edwards

                And yet another new form to have a go at - good one B.

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks MICHAEL ~ My role on MPS is to Entertain ~ Enlighten ~ Educate ~ ANAPHORA verse was common slightly before your time (Elizabethan !) there are many examples in Gregorian Chants and Shakespeare etc ~ BRIAN

                  So true, RECYCLE! Lol I always save my glass bottles and reuse them for whatever or turn them into potions for my Halloween witch station😅. I have so many my mom tells me I'm crazy, but always gives me some really neat shaped ones when ever she can. Love the rhyme, love this poem!
