In praise of syllables

"Intoxication" tips the tongue, languorous
"Ringlet" "Couplet" "Watchlet" lift you up
"Road" and "Bread" be ever, sturdy, true
"Ubiquitous" points back--your sight, speech, you

"Ebullience" shoots stars down by its vowels
tossing somehow consonants to space
"Stunt" trips, "Thick" stunts, "Thump" sticks
while "Bliss" is intimate, a figured face

"Becomes" is always questing, restless down then up
"Canker"'s edges bruise"Impossible" just stares "Adjure" is forest green, "Cunt" mean
"Wholly" gives pause "Rapture" brings you there
