"S" is for...stupid, and silly, and smart,
Sometimes, and sassafras, sever, and start,
Sing, songs, suddenly, solo, and starve,
Serious, and sober, sane, secret, and sparse,
Smile, sagacious, slowly, and serve,
Settle, and sadly, speak, silence, and Sir,
Sensible, saucily, savvy, sincere,
Separate, sanctity, sally, severe,
Stiffnecked, and stubborn, submissive, and sigh,
Seeking, sight, seeing, scurry, scatter, and sly,
Sweet, sour, savoury, sundry, and sew,
Sell, slivered, slather, slink, and.......STYROFOAM! ! ! !

- Comment from author about the poem: Somehow we are always finding trash blown into our yard, and cleaning it up is perpetual. Once while out walking I came upon a piece of styrofoam; and you know it comes in various shapes.......This time it was the "S" shape and I couldn't help coming up w/a rhyme....After the fun of that, well, almost any letter of the alphabet will do....what can you come up with?

clecverly written...the vagueness of it is the beauty of it..
Thanks. Though I liked to imagine that the occasional arrangement of the words like..."sing songs suddenly....solo...and starve..." presented a true picture, you know what I mean? Silly thought.
Likeable poem. Never seen one like it before.
Thank you very much. Probably its greatest value was the enjoyment/challenge/vocabulary and rhyme & rhythm exercise of composition....after that, what is it good for?
It's silly and truely original; very fun with a rhyme scheme to boot! It brings a smile to my face. With your permission I'd like to try your new style for myself (?)
Sounds cool....you're going to likewise take a letter of the alphabet and apply rhyme (and metre too I thought) with vocabulary words to it...oh and a touch of thought to the order of the words? It is fun, if nothing else.
I'll do my best.
Have fun! Be creative, and seriously, just enjoy it!
Seeking out something special
Spotted 'S'- poem
Smart styling
Sweeps away sadness
Sounds super:)
Sweet! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome:)
May I use your idea for creating a similar poem myself?
But of course! I would love to see what you come up with....didn't you commentes all read my "author's comment"? In it I basically ask ALL my readers to try writing a similar poem with any letter of the alphabet. Would that all of you would do so! I look forward to reading any one else's experiment in this!
So I'm done with my 'F' poem! Looking forward to your comment. Thanks a lot for the idea:)
