This is written for a contest with the theme 'My Shoes'. I entered it as free verse, though it is really a pleiades poetry, which I could not find under the rubric poetry forms. Maybe the soup can list that form in the future.

One word title followed by single seven line stanza, each line starting with the first letter of the title.

 

Shoes Support me on heavy sunken soil Sanctify my journey’s secret solace Save me from blistered scarred sorrow Show my give and take in solemn stride Sound the creaks and creeks of soft sojourn Stipulate lunar sun-crested salvation on that Shoestring of love passion sandalwood serenity 24th August 2016
