alliterating the day

(written in 2008)

A littered nation gasps -
As alliteration acts,
And maps out malignant masochism's mask.
+
plus

An illiterate ancient wave
Of what alliteration aint:
Poetic prostitution, politely placed upon my plate.
...
still

I scream, pleading, for
Clarity in metaphor;
A bittersea of ignorance rests atop our ocean floor.
"   "
wait

I idled, intuitively interested.
Befuddled by the body, but beauty was rested.
The mangled mentioning of metaphor made me lose my mind..
I swore i'd teach them all, helping 'simile' be defined.

Hi, I'm simile, I've been fumbled & forgotten, like truth.
A metaphor, used correctly, can help you climb past your mental roof.

A pretty way to say goodbye:
Painting petals till they cry,
"I'll not be blooming, not tonight."
So, you won't be blooming? 'Doomed' is right.
