today's roll revealed the number to be 17
~hapax~
word which occurs only once
Harrumphing Helmsmen
hissing hurtful hate.
Horrible Hounds hunting
Hambones.
Howling help!
History has hung heavy,
healing hope.

- Had fun alliterating my way through the alphabet, twice. Aspirations to become a writer one day, poems will suffice for the moment.
I started laughing when I saw Harrumphing... great word... then I got all 'what a messy world we live in' during the middle, and by the end I was glad to be reminded there is always hope... that's a lot of thought rolled into 17 H words - :D
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome way to write poetry, by rolling dice or spinning a wheel or picking a number from a hat. I love this poem. I love the cadence & meter & it ends w/ hope.

Horrible Hounds sounds like it could be the name of a metal band.
ReplyDeleteIn an era full of buzz words, we need more of those words that appear only once! Hapax... never heard of it... (must have missed it that one time it appeared ;-) ).
