Hold her

Hug happiness hastily

-

Hurry, hurry

Hell has heard

Hide

-

Honour her

Heavens high humbled

-

Hide, hide

Hell hisses hostilities

Hurry

-

Hallucinate her,

Hurt her,

Hang her,

-

Hell has hollowed her

Hurry, hide

    This is great. Well done.

  • Tainted love, abused & from which we hide. But has hell hollowed her or have we. Are we the hell we so desperately fear? Oh yeah, we could spend a lot of time plumbing the depths of this tautogram. And as with William Carlos Williams' poem, "The Red Wheelbarrow", would we discover you were simply playing with words? I love it!
