Speech Greenhorn

Speech greenhorn Sue smartly stands smiling Sleepwalking, she’s set for faith-sailing Seeking for serenity Sshhh, she spots security She’s soul-searching midst silence-sealing. Sleeptalking shows Sue’s secrets surely Stressing statements straightforwardly She shouts, “Stop selfishness*… Shut up shameful slothfulness!” She’s safe, speaking to herself soundly.
*1Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. Limerick and Alliteration July 20, 2018 Edited on March 14, 2019 5th place, "Green Humor Rhymes, Old or New..." Poetry Contest Sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire; judged on 3/23/2019.

There's certainly a lot of alliteration in your poem, Beata. A unique take on the contest theme. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries and judging is always a challenge. Best wishes, Carolyn
