Hailstones-Moss
Hailstones whipping
Moss creeping
Moss algae
Ice freezing
Hail flying
Moss grabbing
Moss clinging
Hail climbing
Hail cuts
Moss cowers
Moss shelters
Hail showers
Hail shouts
Moss whispers
Moss whimpers
Hail twisters

It’s grief that drags us down:
not gravity;
Yet each loss is grave
Leads to our grave
And is a grievous weight of soul
Not to be born alone
But woven into silken weaves
To warm and stroke and shelter:
I am a shawl for you.

Ice
descends
to core;
cools
fire’s
dragon breath.
Breath of dragon
fires
core;
condensation on
ice!

Ranting
panting
chanting
granting
naught.
Ought to
plant
petunias
scant
slant-ed
plants.
Ants
plan to
plant
paths that
grant
growth.
Cease
ranting;
try
planting
plants
that play:
plants that play!

I was a nun-for-fun
A bun in the oven
A hun in the honey
A run in the stocking
A sun in the darkness
A ton of good cheer.
I won a nun-prize:
PRIVACY!
No puns
No guns
No done deals
But daily becoming
A nun for real.

Here is my compliment tongue twister using the American tool name: wrench:
A
wench
on a bench
with a wrench
left a stench.
Sniff it we did
‘n hid
the bench
with the stench
of the wrench
from the wench.
