Sonic Stings

Watching wild Wasps
Fiercely flying forward
Sonic stings, sickly screams
Painfully piercing pandemonium



Experimenting with form I have not previously attempted.

I like this alliteration Richard but wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those stings....The third line is outstanding I can hear the screams...Tim

I forgot I wrote this one. I guess I have now written two of them.

Alliteration, this is new format for me, how it works?

you have to have the same sounding sound for the beginning of each word in the line. Watching Wild Wasps all have W sound. I may be wrong but this was my interpretation of the instructions.
