Ooooooo and Iiiiiii and Uuh

    Smooth move.

    Time flies.

    Such a dumb bunny.

    There’s something pleasing about repeating vowel sounds.  The words don’t rhyme, but they do go together nicely.  They make me want to see how far I can take them.

    Rooster’s smooth move boosts a baboon to croon a groove tune that soon balloons into a new cashew moon.

    Well, that’s so-so.  Certainly, you can do better.

    10. P2, frowning and looking closer: A stye.
      P1, shedding a tear: I cry?
      P2: Try my tie to wipe it dry.
      P1: What a guy.
      P2. Merci!
      P1: ???
      P2: Sigh.

    11. Dead eye?

      Did I try to let fly some light from my life,
      An idea I contrived by night in a fright,
      When I set the die with a tool hoping I
      Would not start to cry, kept my eyes quite dry.

      Could why I even tried belie what hides behind my lines?
      It’s hard to find the homonyms which deftly ply,
      Sweet synonyms which can describe what’s in my mind.
      Oh my now I’ve confused the syns and homs – research!

      1. Hello Teacher!

        I also responded with another comment to this 2nd iteration of The Sounds.

        I feel this concept is a challenge to me and bears further study. And… it was fun. And a bit mind boggling.
        Perhaps I could do better by making a list of words with The Sounds and then composing – something like Stravinsky’s musical exercise with the twelve tones which were at first selected and then sequentially presented in his “Sequential Composition”. (His rules permit repetition of notes but only in the forward direction and in sequence. E.G. – doh, me, fah, ray, / me, fah, me fah, ray.)
        So, our exercise would have its list of similar sounds and when we choose them we might try to present a meaningful series of words which also have similar sounds, (or conversely, we might not try that…!)

        Am I on the right track?

        Person 1: Oh my.
        Person 2: Dry eye?
        Person 1: Aye aye.
