Purple Prose
As alliteration becomes aligned
And metaphor remains undefined,
Purple prose adorns the verbs
With obscure words,
Creating raptures
Within the esoteric meaning
That it captures.
For purple is the colour of kings
With elegance it rings
But with pomp and arrogance it sings.
Purple prose
Can get right up your nose.

Being deliberately wordy and grandiose is a pretention that can be very annoying.
