Constant Assonance

adipose asinine America:

beastly yeast in obscene obesity
swell-swigging wig-gagging reflex
exposed midriff butt-lift grifters
wiggle-waddling weight around woo woo town
thick fake fingernail fail
day-glo sick show sale
ghetto-guffaw designer-clawing
wherever wits were wanting
jiggle-giggling juvenile thing in a thong
sing song sung dumbass thang sang
pajama-jamming baby-daddy mammy
loudmouth proud plebe crowd
smirk-smoke the joke in cannabis choke
crass fat ass-crack blackjack
queer queen king thing of a
bipolar solar son of a
tied up in hyped-up lowlife lockdown
cluelessly curating dimwitted day
descending darkly to dusk.

You GO, girl.

PROMPT 26

write a poem that involves alliteration, consonance, and assonance.
Alliteration is the repetition of a particular consonant sound at the beginning of multiple words.
Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds elsewhere in multiple words,
and assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds.

It’s rare that I read a poem where the speaker manages to be fatphobic, elitist, misogynist, racist, ableist, prudish AND queerphobic at the same time, so well done you for making this vile character you’ve invented really come to life! I could almost believe someone this ridiculous was real, so really great work. :)

  No problem! Can I ask where you came up with the idea for the character? I see you use it a lot here, it’s such an inspired pastiche of this very specific type of sad, fragile little bigot, great job. You really feel sorry for him! :)
