"S" Poem

Mar 22, 2016
Writing Club

Prompt:
It’s not about me.  Write a 20 line poem where every line begins with the first letter of your first name on a topic that isn’t about you.  
Get going you have 20 minutes!

So the requirement of twenty lines so staunchly stood,
Some topic I sought that I’d fill with “S”s if I could,
Seeking something of interest that’s not about me,
Sinking deeper into distraction this topic might be,
Seems to be that there’s little connection between a line,
Sitting between an alpha “S” and an omega rhyme.
Sort of like a Dr. Seuss book that swings along,
Sailing through salt and sand and ends in snow sing song.
Set in 1981 with scary eyed swordfish and someone named Billa Bing Bong.
Something nonsensical a tot reads aloud,
Storing phonetically those measured syllables and sound.
Starting points of literacy are in those inky apes.
Students of reading and writing and shapes.
Staring at “O” like an open mouth bass.
Snake says “SSSS” et dans cette case,
Si tu cherches en Français, le son est le meme,
Serpent dit “SSSS” aussi.
Sentences state and hopefully sate a requirement of twenty, maybe.
Some staunchy lines that saunter sort of together,
Searching for some silky sweet sounding little lyrical tether.
