Whispers Skyline

Listen to poem:

Written: May 20, 2024

                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Siren stunningly sprung a sanguine sway
sailboat sheaths spread, and storms swell 
splendid summer shorelines spike
summertime spousal serenade swept
scrumptious, sturdy sibyllic sweeps
silky shorelines settle scrawls
seawater subtly scrubs sewage
skirr is a spectacular sand stronghold
sapphire specks spruce seaside sand
shoreline scoria is sharp
shipmates glide along a sleety seacoast
shivering seafarers' sight.

Straight skyline scaled saddlebow
sighting swallows spawned sibilance
stalls and slumps were scrutinized
strolling solysium soliloquy
stranding Schadenfreude
satisfied spectator
sarcasm serves as a solecism
slanting supplants a sempiternal scintilla
swirl across a snapped soul
supported standout slide
spiraling semantic spondaic species
sweeping synopsis syncope
start to sense surrealism

Sensual, sensuous, slim, and smiling
sits silently staring
sapphire sky sight
the sun casts scarlet shadows
slowly sinking silhouettes 
scatter stars on skylines
Sunday sermon supply
searching souls
singing serenade.

Slides speckled sunshine
souvenirs spark strands of subdued shades
sequential surety swelling
strange, scarlet, silky songs
sway symphonic sylphic stardust
store sustained scrupulousness
silver surges spurred the space
snagging scents
step sibilant serendipity
stirred spectrum.

Dear Sotto, your creative pen spills a serenade of alliteration in "S" sounds with superb vibrant imagery in an uninterrupted slide down the poetic page. I especially enjoyed "Sensual, sensuous, slim, and smiling sits silently staring" and "strange, scarlet, silky songs sway symphonic sylphic stardust". Your gifted pen can spin gold from straw. Congratulations for your trophy win, my poet friend! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Wow.... Wow. Thumbs up, great man! I have been so busy and missed this marvelous composition. This is alliteration at its best. I am sure you are in love with the S letter as your pen name starts with 'S'. I think you have incorporated all the 's' words into this poem. This is not a simple job to incorporate all these words into a meaningful poem. This goes to my FAVE for later reference. Hearty Congratulations dear friend on your well deserved trophy win.

Dear sotto, youve chosen the letter s and created one that flows effortlessly, painting imagery using metaphors that really is captivating! I bet you chose the letter s because your name starts with s and it goes very well with the theme too. So many lines stood out for me but what i love the most is “ the sun casts scarlet shadows slowly sinking silhouettes scatter stars on skylines” left me breathless and in awe of the artistic nature of what youv conveyed there! So beautiful! Best wishes!

Wow, Sotto , that is a lot of S words for the alliteration contest, you put a lot of work into this poem. Best of luck if it's for Tommy Boy's contest.

Woah what an amazing weaving of alliteration!! The poem is a striking example of heavy alliteration, with an overwhelming use of the 's' sound creating a rhythmic and almost hypnotic effect. This technique enhances the musicality of the poem, making it a vivid auditory experience. The repetition of the 's' sound can be seen in phrases like "siren stunningly sprung a sanguine sway" and "sapphire specks spruce seaside sand," which create a sense of unity and flow throughout the poem.

Amazing how you weaved your thoughts in alliteration. Not easy to write such a long poem with S words, my friend. Your poetic prowess and creativity on display here, Lasaad.
