L Milton Hankins Poet Alliteration

Summer Sounds

Superb the sounds of summer’s soliloquy
So sweetly singing the sparrow’s song,
Sometimes she sounds suddenly sonorous
Since startled sparrows sing shrilly strong,
Summer sounds so singularly sacrosanct
Swallows and swifts sing slow and soft,
Sailing skyward like sandpipers swinging
Standing, then, on solid sand sashaying
Soon sauntering, staying satisfied, sane,
Soothing summer sounds stolidly serene.

Caren Krutsinger August 20, 2022 at 12:29 AM Oh my goodness! You must have used a dictionary and snapped up every S word ever invented! Both of your alliterative writes today are so sweetly scintillating! L Milton Hankins August 20, 2022 at 9:23 AM Actually, I didn't use a dictionary much. I looked up a couple of words to make sure they meant what I thought they meant. I'm glad you liked it. Challenged???

Tom Cunningham August 18, 2022 at 1:04 PM A well composed alliteration Milton, you must have used every S word in the dictionary. Tom L Milton Hankins August 18, 2022 at 7:57 PM Tom, I'm writing another one using the S words. Trying to tell a story. L Milton Hankins August 18, 2022 at 1:20 PM Nope, not hardly. It appears there are more S words in the English language than almost any other letter. I really didn't have a problem coming up with words that worked. I do try to make an alliteration poem make sense.
