Lethal Metaphor

Unleash the lethal metaphor,

let loose iambic verse,

with caesurae to underscore

the rabid poet’s curse.

 

Then hide it in hyperbole

with images so raw,

insinuating anarchy

and rhyming’s fatal flaw.

 

A volta voicing paradox

in enigmatic words

that founder swiftly on the rocks

of neologist nerds.

Nonsense? Oh I don't know... sounds like you've been drinking at the fountain of "Literary terms and theory" or something😉.
