Sempiternal Sacrifice

Hmmm smooth challenge entry

By Paul StewartPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Sophisticated sociopathic

Silken suffering

Stifling suffocation

Sweet sensations

Sacred santification

Swollen, stretched

Shivered sanitisation

Sanded shoulders

Slandered; shook

Sempiternal sacrifice

*

Thanks for reading!

    You love your tautograms.. Too clever for me on this one! I assume this is one of your darker MURDER pieces lol! But maybe not.. maybe it’s symbolic of something.. I dunno..And I had to look up THAT word ! 😅

  • Sophisticated Sociopath. I really like that. I've been calling myself the Empathic Sociopath all this while bit Sophisticated seems awesome! Loved your Tautogram! 🍩🥐

    Well, look at you, gettin' all fancy with a smooth tautogram! And using archaic English, too! Hmmm, indeed! Great entry, my friend!
