Serpentine Seduction

Tristan Robert Lange

Satan sits staring, silently
Surveilling six separate—
Secluded—
Snakes slithering
Somewhere
 
South.
 
Summoning serpentine snatchers,
Satan shows seriously
Sinister,
Subversive seduction,
Selling snakes
Something soulless—
Shadowed,—
Stifling.
 
Surrendering snakes
Sobbingly slither—
Submissive—
Seeking Satanic
Supplication.
 
Surprise.

        A masterpiece of alliteration that like the snake unnoticed until it is too close it bites before you know it. Very nicely done Tristan
