A Study In Alliteration Poem by TMA

A Study In Alliteration



Inspire, instruct insolent insurgents
To teach tolerant townsmen
Virulent, vitriolic violence
Uprising, unrest, anger-
Stir sleeping scorpions
Make men mad!

Fear fierce fiery fury, fools!
Thoughtless thugs! Thorough thieves!
Sleep soundly; snore sonorously
Heedless, happy, healthy, huge-
Doom, destruction, death, defeat
Unite yonder upon you...

Judgment, justice,
Come calling-come quickly!
Thought thou that thoughtless thieving
Unchecked, undeterred, unchallenged
Would wax without waning
Endless, everlasting, eternal?
