Great variation on the abecedarian. I like the sounds, Bill - and the form. Yes. *
And all those W's at the end. At first I thought you were sending out my grade slip. *
Impressive.
"stench
stones stroke
swell" and
"velvet weaves
webs weep" really resonate with me. They all add up beautifully.*
An experiment in the aleatory. Grateful for your kind comments, Sam, Jake, and Emily!
Wow that looked like a great challenge, Bill. I also very much like the title.
