Sneezing Socks

SNEEZING SOCKS ….. . .. .. . . . With petite purple pansies in her long and luscious locks Carly cleaned , creased , and darned her dirty, smelly socks, Her clover colored dress twirled around her fancy feet As apple –printed apron looked goody good enough to eat, With newly laundered laundry, billowing brightly in the breeze Oh, stray seeds from Carly’s socks, made her suddenly sneeze. © --------------- John Freeman’s Contest: Alliteration Poems, Please

Such a splendid write Nette! You've painted pictures with this colorful form. Alliteration is the secret ingredient in most of my poetry, as I am fascinated with play-on words...they paint such a beautiful picture, as you have done here. Apologies for the contest and getting your soupmail late...guess im headed for soup jail 4 breakin da rulez : ) Hopefully next time I'll do a better job, for you all are the best at ispiring minds with your poetic contest themes!
