Alliteration
fuck a bunch of rhymes
Brittle bitterness bending a biased blind bitch’s beliefs into blatant blasphemy
decimating my daughter with devious deceptions,
purloined emails intended for one set of eyes.
I haven’t been sufficiently demonized.
So I’ll shed scales,
force fangs into flesh,
inject venom vicariously into vindictive vixens voicing variations of veracity,
tear talons into tenderness and rend tendons until
bloody bodies build a bastion of betterment.
I reject ridiculous rhymes,
get my fill from killer alliteration.

The sheer, raw power of this piece is astounding. You don't just use alliteration—you weaponize it. The rhythm is relentless, perfectly mirroring the intense, almost vengeful energy of the core emotion.
The intensity in this piece is striking—the alliteration adds a rhythmic edge that makes every line hit even harder. Powerful and unapologetic.
The alliteration here is great! I love how sharp and intentional every line feels.
