Silent Soliloquies

Stagnated sin stared straight out to sea Seeking a scape subdued of such scintillation Stars she said should not share the same air Superstitions shaped in slumber stirred into song Singing superfluous sonnets that sliced through the skin Stripping all sound sense of sanity within Still and stark was the strange soul's stare Stipulating struggles of stunted summations Silent soliloquies submerged this sorry scene Sorrow by sorrow she smothered all serene Sallow senses sated she surrendered her sight Staggering out to shore she swallowed up the sea

Would be difficult to write purposeful alliteration more cleverly presented - beats the heck out of "She sells sea shells" by a long shot! You are not obviously new at these inspirations...

Ah wow thank you so much for the kind words, I have always been a keen reader but I've only been writing poetry since September so any feedback is invaluable, It just seems to be pouring out at the moment!
