Tonal Tomato Number Lost In Me Splashed Merger Oldus 55 Poem by Diana van den Berg

Twinkle, tinkle,
jingle, ring,
whoooosh,
splutter,
splash,
squawk,
trouble, rubble, squabble, wobble, literary, wittery, squittery,
triller, filler, spiller, willer, tiller, tumble, rumble,
ming, mang, mong,
uppity, duppity, serendy, dippity,
whether you will
or
whether you won’t,
cool flow,
low, slow,
- hush,
no blow,
jiggle,
trickle,
tickle,
pebbled rivulet,
mellifluous peace,
suppose,
how many,
dappled green,
so old,
filtered gold,
tiny twitters,
darting flitters,
fluttering,
flying,
soaring,
gliding,
floating,
sleeping,
slipping,
lost,
soft cloud,
sun-swathed,
blue dream.
