Twisted Tongue
silly snow-cat sneaks slowly
seeking sustenance,
stalking suspects steadily
stealthy, slinky spine
hunter hungry, hunting;
hesitantly hounding
horned happenstance,
haunting her hapless heirs
violent violet venting vulnerable’s
voracious, vehement valediction
vultures venture vying,
validating violence

I've been sitting here, sounding this out, for several minutes. I have concluded that it is quite cool. lol You manage to paint a vivid, living portrait, while staying within the alliterative parameters. You rock and rule

Beautifully executed alliteration, Luna... you tell an interesting story in this fun little poem, and it kind of bounces around in your head because of the alliteration. Made me think of Snow Leopards :)

For such a violent story, I admit it made me giggle trying to read it out loud 😅. Thank you so much, NewB 💜
