Rip -Roaring

R andom radicals rush rip-roariously on ward 
O nerously oggling on-lookers abroad
A nnealing axle-grease atop ankle-high boots   
D eliberately dashing dilettante seekers
T raveling tenaciously toward tree-lined detours 
R oad rage roars, racers recline, rear-wheels wheelie 
I mprobable instances intoxicate incalculable intensity
Probably, they'd get there alive!?
S irens sound

E mptiness emanates extravehicular extemes 
N ickle-plated, nonentities now
D eath, death, dangles
I nsanities inane inference 
N ickle-plated, nonentities now
G one.

You wrote a winner, well done. I'm checking out poetry styles for a piece I'm considering, had even been thinking of alliterations, but you've got me re-thinking. Did you mean "their??" 2nd to last line 1st stanza. Still in awe, Scott

I appreciate the skill that it took to pen this one but it didn't do it for me. I much prefer other pieces you have written.
