Joanna Daniel Poet Alliteration

Melancholia

Mournful melancholy makes her miserable, 
Murky moods move her to morosity, 
She's miffed and morbid, her mind is mourning, 
Moping about in mellow melancholia, 
Marred in misery, misty-eyed, she's mortified, 
Melting in maddening malaise of malcontentment, 
Malfunctioning malignancy has made her mean, 
Melodramatic memories magnify her misfortune, 
This monotonous, mundane, mirthless morning, 
She's a mangled mess of merciless moaning, 
A mere mortal mutilated by melancholic musings.
