Her tone is clashing:
#strident, whining, and needy
so I close my ears.

"These are some impressive weapons you're selling!"

"Thank you. They rhyme"

"... pardon?"

"They all rhyme! What you've got there is a #strident trident. Over here is a clawed sword and a fear spear"

"What about this axe?"

"Don't bother, that can barely cut anything. It's far too lax"

"My victory is #strident!"

"Well, I wouldn't call it exactly so..."

Blaaaare!!!

"Oh. Well, I guess it is."

Seen from the inside, a wave breaks with the setting sun in the middle.

With #strident #attention to detail,
Our #world avoids #travail.
We make our amends,
And gather our friends
As toward the new year, we set sail.

#strident Poseidon
tuna cans
brags
about his bulk
&
volumne

even as

expensive Anchovies
across
the aisle
snickers
at
his Trident

nothing scares me more
than a man with a #strident voice
why so loud
why so angry
i wish i wasn't like this

From the #vss365 jukebox, this is Rubicon by Killing Joke from the 1986 album Brighter Than a Thousand Suns:

The age of miracles, assent of man in #strident tones
Realms of fantastic have been forged by folly speed and steel

words screamed stridently
from every part of the world
but not one stops war
poets write feverishly
but protest poems mean nothing

"Every time I hear the #strident bastard prattle away about his woes, I get a little sick to my stomach. Handed everything on a silver platter but he frittered it away and all he has left is a preternatural ability to avoid responsibility and obstreperous bullshit."
#vss365

humanity's voice
hoarse from strident screaming
for thousand's of years
pleading for someone to help
hold open the door to hope

Such a tiresome #travail, bringing stories from the brink just to see them try, try again.
"You weren't meant to repeat it!"
#Strident, we call.
"YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BRING IT BACK!"
"the story was a warning, not a goal..." Apocalyptic tears rain in the ash.

“Yes,” said Ava. Then, fearing she was too #strident, “Yes,” in a softer tone.
Dan’s smile lit the restaurant. He pressed her hand to his lips. “Thank you.” He fumbled in a pocket & drew out a ring box. “We can change it.” He sat opposite her again.
Ava opened the box. #vss365

Her eyes fly open, her heart yammers in her chest. Something woke her - its call #strident and insistent.
She's about to close her eyes when she hears it again.
'I'm your muse,' it says. 'And I'm back.'

‘NOOO! You left the string on my banana. No. No. NO!’

‘You’re very #strident today.’

‘Eh? I’m like a spear with three prongs?’

‘No. Strident, not trident.’

‘Oh, yes. I’m stuff for cleaning false teeth?!’

‘Sterident. Haha!’

‘You still left the string on my banana.’

When there are two
with #strident views
then compromise is rare

But when the two
hear each other's view
then there's room to care

A bitter fight
between those 'in the right'
helps no one in the end

See the light
respect each other's rights
then the pain can mend
