George Seal Poet Alliteration

Stormy Seas

Serene sunset, star studded sky, seamen setting sail,
    Sixteen salty sailors, surveying southern seas,
    Singing somewhat spicily, saucy sea shanties.
    Sea sirens serenading, seductively sedates,
    Sailors sleeping senselessly, soon sacrifice shipmates.
    Shipwrecked sailors swimming, seeking sandy shores.
    Spiral sea shells strident sounds, staccato semaphores.
    Steering south, steel steamships, start searching stormy seas,
    Searchlights, sirens, struggling, serendipity succeeds.
    Soul - searching self survivors, salute salvation's sanctuary.

Kahlani Steele October 13, 2024 at 1:04 AM George, this is an exemplary example of an alliteration poem. If only I could have thought of it first. Congratulations. George Seal October 13, 2024 at 2:16 AM Thank you Kahlani, I could not manage to fit my surname in the poem, although I almost inadvertently nearly fit yours in. Words starting with S, are a fertile ground for alliteration. If you care, look up my poem Weather Warning, every word begins with W, and except for one in the title, and the penultimate hyphenated word in the poem, every word is a different one. My regards to you. George Barrie Seal.
