Forgotten Ground Regained

Scenes, Settings, and Objects

This page showcases poems that describe physical scenes, settings, and objects -- natural beauty, buildings, and the like. It is a surprisingly common choice for modern authors of alliterative verse, perhaps because such poems can be relatively short, yet give full scope to the strengths of alliterative verse. Quite a few of the modern poets not on this site make similar choices.
