Words cluster around letters.
Think about it!
They gravitate, coalesce
For their own benefit,
Recognizable as sharing an attitude.

Mighty “B”
Sits second in the string of 26,
Unconcerned it might get lost in the
Shuffle.
You Barely notice it.
Nearly Blind to its import
But, it is well-used
By Buglers Blasting Blue notes.

It is Brilliant.

Exercises in “B-ness”
Bring Blushes into
Boudoirs.

Now,
Consider the Beauteous
“B’s.”
Blond Braids, Beads, Bagatelles,
Bibelots , Bracelets,
Baroque Bibles
Borne By Bald Barmen to
Brides along with Bawdy Ballads
Borrowing Bells Brandished on their bunions.

If all seems Banished from your Brain
There ‘s always Be and Being to Bring it
Back .
But By now you might feel Batty,
Battered,
Brain-Buzzing
Like a
Bee.

Beleaguered.
Believing
Bare Bears Belong Behind Bars on
Biedermeier Banquettes Bloodied By Blackbeard,
Blurred and Blunted,
Beginning the Beguine
Bursting Balloons and Bubbles.

Betrayed bloodlettings
But Bloodless Bodies,
Beaten, Bitter, Barely Believing Baseball Banter.

Blessed Bromide!

So what’s next?

BINGO !

Place a Bet, Begrudgingly at Baccarat
On “T”or “G”,
See where it takes you.
Barnstorming, Bandstanding, or Beguiled,
Breaking the Bank,
Or
Broke,
By God.
