Mix of personal constraints and abstract prohibitions; leans concrete/relatable.
Dense repetition of commands creates rapid-fire accumulation of ideas.
Overwhelmingly negative; lists only prohibitions and restrictions.
Sharp imperatives and repetitive structure create intense, driving momentum.
10 lines falls within 7-15 range.
Mostly literal commands; minimal metaphor or ornament; stark declarative.
Pure lyric internal voice; speaker addressing self or audience directly.
