This is going to be my entry for #mimickingpoems
Now, before I get to the poem. Just a build up to this moment. Initially, I did think that I'm going to take The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost as my base poem and take its scheme of 'I took the road that was less travelled' and reverse it and give my poem the scheme of 'I took the road that everyone did' but I scratched that plan and decided to do this instead. Yes. I changed my plan. With only a single day in hand. With that said. Let's jump into my *idea*.
Poem I took as the base?
Betty Botter (A Mother Goose Poem)

Yes lmao. Yes.
What I'll copy for the poem? It's attribute of repeated alliteration. Alliteration is one of the simplest techniques in the poetic spectrum and are very rarely impressive on their own. They add on to the reading value. Yes. But they aren't uSUalLy a "wow" factor. I wanted to change that. I am usually one of the poets who "drown in emotions" and yet naturally manage to somewhat push my limits in the technical spectrum? But this? Bro. Ugh. I hope I succeed :sob:
I based each line on a different letter and I went with reverse pattern. (The first line is made with Zs while the last one in made with As and everything else comes in between in that pattern)
Here's the Poem
Zealous 'zymes zizzling Zephyr,
Yearning youth yodelling yeasayer yarns,
'X-raying Xenophobes,
Worrisome warriors wishing wildflower's wonderland,
Vacating vile vowels' vengeance.
Unleashing unadulterated, unaudited utterances,
Testing their treacherous throats, taming taboos,
Slaughtering sensationalism, segregating supposition,
Racing recklessly, remobilizing ramifications,
Questioning, Quantifying, Questing,
Pacifying perennial pain persistently.
Obediently objecting, opposing organizational obstruction,
nourishing naive nostalgia no more,
Making money, marring misogyny,
Liberating linguistic landmarks lavishly.
Keenly kissing kaleidoscopic kindness,
Jovially journalling jarring jujutsu,
Innuendos inked in impaling ivy,
Goons gone; given grounded graves,
Head held high, helplessly hustling,
Fighting families, friends, foes,
Everyone endangering 'er earnest endeavours.
Dissing dichotomy, dappering democracy,
Caging capitalism, campaigning common conscience,
Berating barbaric blasphemy,
Agitating, Apologizing, Accepting, Accommodating, Accomplishing.
