I'm happy to have a reader enjoying the alliteration. I try, often unsuccessfully, to reign it in but I just love all those slippery sounds.
Ella, your 'rein it in' reminded me of the song I've been listening to on repeat lately. On the way to lectures, during a food shop, or while I'm getting ready. It's by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. Olivia is currently a national treasure here in the UK, she lights up a lot of the miserable grey skies we're accustomed to. Walk into any cafe or shop over here, and you'll most likely hear one of her songs playing.
I think the message is... don't rein it in - ever! Poets should never!
