First Line: Make you mouth a cavern
Last Line: A wave of oblivion.
Subject(s): Language; Words; Vocabulary


Oom

Make your mouth a cavern,
It will say oom.
One o is a hoop for a clown to jump through,
Two pierce a corridor,
M is its infinitely reaching wall.

Doom

D makes it
The labyrinth of destiny.

Boom

With B
It struts with a reiterative
Pomp of sound.

Whom

With Wh
It paraphrases a man
Pursued by perpetual motion.

Womb

And with W
It becomes
The Phoenix' nest.

Loom

For its action
Escorting Fate,
It takes the leg of a glacier,
Adding L.

Room

The precise R
Makes it a commonplace of space.

Gloom

Under Gl
It sinks into a cellar of sentiment.

Tomb

T makes it
A wave of oblivion.
