Enumeratio: constructing a list, a successive enumeration of multiple elements in the same series.
It is also Anaphora: the repetition of the same word or cluster of words at the beginning of multiple lines of verse in the same poem.
A FUN ONE
You are my joyous entertainer Not just a cartoon character though just as animated
You are the all-time best variety show, an Emmy winner for sure You dance, you sing, you mimic And always you bring laughter
You are the talk show host and the sidekick You are the invited guests; the singer, the dancer, the song and dance master.
You are the crazy and novel talent act The storyteller and listener Advisor and commenter The clown, the standup comic and court jester
You are the Queen of gesture and animated face and body language
You are quick witted and on the spot of any real moment (“she doesn’t need to see pictures she’s seen his butt plenty”)
You are an original and no one can take your place As you have provided joy and truest laughter to my life.
You are perfect just the way you are
I enjoyed this. Could you share a bit about where you found it?
I wrote it so it was east to find. Peace
Gotcha – so no original sources for the text – all original? Thanks for sharing.
I loved the playful vibe of this, especially with the images of the court jester, stand-up comedian and entertainer – the ending was lovely too 🙂
Thank you for the nice comments.
Peace! Ken
