“Breaking the Spell” / “Applesauce”

I’ve never specifically tried writing abstract or sound poetry, where the emphasis is on sound rather than meaning, until now. It tops Robert Lee Brewer’s list of 100 poetic forms, which I’m using as poem prompts. I experimented with two poems. You’ll see that I loosened up quite a bit with the second. Applesauce, by the way, is slang for nonsense–pure serendipity. :) Peace to your ♥ !

 Applesauce 

Slapdapple gingersnapple,
Vim-vigorous fruit.
Vavoom, kazoom,
Scoot-a-toot-toot.

Speedster and speed star,
Go-go-going ape.
Mishmash apple smash,
Eppal, paple, plape.
