Razzle Dazzle
a poem for children. The aliteration in this poem is deliberately tongue tying.







Now listen,
can you hear them, the rhythm of their wings,
the jingling and tinkling of teensy-weensy things?

all around the red tipped mushrooms,
the children of the light glow spectral sparkle spangles
as they dance for you tonight.

Look there,
can you see them, the colour of their wings,
the razzle-dazzle shimmers of teeny tiny things?

all around the red tipped mushrooms
the children of the light fire speckle spangle sparkles
as they dance for you tonight.
