Several Short Stories

Sinuous snakes slithered sideways seeking soothing sunshine, safely situated somewhere soft.

Salivating salamanders slurped salad sandwiches suspiciously.

Stupid seals searched sandy shores scattering seashells senselessly.

Savage seagulls skulked sadly, seeing small sea stars scooping stones secretively.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Someone sees soiled shoes sitting sidelong stripped socks.

Silky shawls stitched with sparking snails and shiny silver slugs sliding sideways.

Scarves swaying, should signal surreal spells

Searching shirts shifting slightly, shredding strings suddenly

Smelly sneakers, stink-up side streets and sidewalks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sneaking suspicious slurps of Saturday’s soup

Shawna sits still stealing shared sultry sideways slants

Sam singing scary songs so spooky someone screams

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sensational salsa swingers spring into step.

Striding on stage, showing slender silhouettes

Seriously spraining splintered spines and

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sally steers Sara’s seven-wheeler SUV, stopping on Sixth street

Sure Susie’s shack sounds silent, Sipping her sugar shake

She sounded so sweet, scrutinizing studying sisters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shovelling snow-covered streets

Sophie strikes second to Sixteenth- ave shop

Stealing snowballs to sling at snowmen

Someone suspects she steals scrumptious sushi sandwiches

Shelly suddenly seizes strong spiked sporks

She shouts, saying sorry sincerely

Salutaions!!!
