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.

wow, you're amazing, dear Sotto. To write an alliterative poem of this length using all S words was amazing and inspiring. I especially liked you use of Schadenfreude--one of my favorite German words :-) Have a splendid day, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
