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😉.
