Ok, just for the fun of it...: I wrote it some time ago:
cacemphaton
I -ablatio or aphaeresis for _HI is used metaphorically to greet
empathically because since I am talking to you - you see me and I
empathically absorb your projection thus I instead of HI - this to avoid
aporias
or acrostically speaking
a
cacozelia of
restrictio &
orcos (onomatopoeic composing) *all this might give me a*
syncope st'tt'ring a figure of self saying
tautologia (not a taxis but an acrostic _topographically in repetitio of
title
irony in an inter se pugnantia just for the
climax climax not that I wish wish or
accimus /to go to sleep _just do not need to sleep
litotes
litotes
Y is this a mistake? No, no figures starting with Y (anthypophora)
My antirrhesis is not an elenchus, or an erotema as the last line of the
acrostic (simile) rather a metastasis that stems from procatalepsis and
leads to ennoia. This as a parlipsis.
With the spirit of Theophrastus & Demetrius (see a vocative, Ah…!) leisurely
seated at my right and Cicero and Quintilian (see second vocative in
repetitio, Ah, Ah…! _hopefully not a battologia_) over-leisurely seated at
my left ::
:: rounded blue grapes silk cushions gentle scent in descriptio ::
: stumbling in virtues and vices of style and with limited kairos at
disposal, better in this hysteron proteron, this the chronographia,
I stay in prolepsis,
Yours
