Short Sibilant Poems

A soft breeze whispers 
through the trees in the mountain, 
as birds sing and chirp....

snake
sibilant serpent
scaled sun seeker
soundlessly sensing; savouring; slithering;
striking...

Rain drops on the roof,
A softly sibilant sound,
Gliding through the gutters,
As they gently go to ground.

A mischievous Harlequin whispered in my ear;
Of everything he said that night, I don't recall
His honeyed, sibilant voice to me not clear,
o'er his chequered self, a hazy mist did fall....

With sibilant voice
you spew venomous words
like poison
              dripping
                              from
                                          a vipers fangs
If only you could taste
your own bitterness
would you continue?...

Swish of withered leaves
In the depths of the forest
Evinces the tense calm
Before an approaching storm
Leashes its contained fury

whispering of winds
sibilant, susurrations
inspiring insights

braggart's boring boasts
haughty, howlingly hollow
a wisp and a whiff

tintinnabulum
continuously caressed
potent priapic

wet and wheezy whine
old nick now is not so nice
whispering wraiths wait...

'S' is a Sibilant
So is the letter 'Z'
Sans one of my front teeth
Sounds a tad more like 'Zhee'
'Say' and 'See' ~ 'Thay' and 'Thee'
'Stay asleep' ~ 'Thtay athleep'
'Sanks a lot' ~ Thanks a lot!

meow
at still's darkness
caterwaul thud whine snarl
cats hiss differences at midnight
thud growl caterwaul rapid light footsteps
on top of the house wail screech shriek
sibilant with comrades
on shingled roof
meow

SIBILANT SESSION

Struggling in simple silence
Sudden static sounds survive
Supplanting a sort of serenity
Serving to satisfy the several
Sulking in sole secluded state
Seriously spiteful in severance
Still seething, seeing something
Senses stealing any sensitivity
Stopping a shiny silver smile
Sending signals to slowly sink
Submerged in silent salty seas
Sibilant souls sadly surrender...

I hear the tantalizing sound
Of sibilant sea waves shaping
sandy shorelines, beckoning my
Soul’s return whence it came
With every endless subsidence.
Like a giant magnet it draws
Me toward its salty expanse
As if in a soporific
Sleep; a somnambulating stroll
Into undulated wetness
Arouses me from my stupor
As it washes over my feet.
I look down at its shallow depth
and smile at my progenitor....
