Waltz of the Wallflowers This is a free verse poem written in the poetry sweatshop method. I opened a dictionary to a random page, which contained words that began with “wa,” including waltz, wallop, wallow, wallflower, wallpaper, wamble, waning, and wander, which I used to create the poem. As this method is meant to create alliteration, I extended it to include other words beginning with W, such as whispers, wary, and wassailers, as well as alliteration with T sounds in the sixth line, with the words trample, toes, attempting, twirl, and triple. Some of these words are also euphonic, such as whimsical and wistfully. These sound devices give the poem a melodic rhythm, but the overuse of alliteration is meant to make the poem slightly chaotic
