Sorry Stephanie
Vocal Community Microfiction Series - Poets
Stephanie said she'd scream,
seeing such similar sounds
strangling single sentences.
-
She said she'd shout,
seeing sibilant structures
stretch sophisticated statements.
-
She said she'll separate
such simple stanzas.
She shall spark some suitable sounds.
She shan't stomach sameness.
-
Someone said she should simmer silently.
Said she should sell sea shells.
See some seashores.
Stephanie said she'll sue!
-
Suddenly, Stephanie stuttered.
She sensed she spoke s-sounds...
solely.
She saw she scribbled s-scripts...
solely.
Spiraling, Stephanie sought semantics.
S-symbols.
Solely!
-
Stephanie shrieked so shrilly
she scoured silence.
-
Sorry Stephanie.

lol. Poor Stephanie. Well done.
I love this. I love the humor, the symbolism, the references, and the camaraderie. Excellent work. Very well done.
LOL, this is fantastic! π€ Awesome work!
Such style
Loryne, I don't know whether to slap you or hug you. You have me in stiches laughing. My cheeks seriously hurt. You-Totally-Went-There like only you could. Love you lots, Babe π
Whoaaaaa! I'm speechless! Silenced! Stunned!
The madness of trying to find a different word than the one which just came to mind because you used the damn thing two lines earlier. (I know that shriek.)
sensational π
Simply soul satisfying,
