Stemming Sorrow

A tautogram

By CJ MillerPublished 4 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Sadness seeps slowly, seamlessly

Sirenlike, sans sound

Seductive

Smothering successes

Spoiling seasonal sojourns

Supplanting sensorial synergy

Suppressing sensual satisfaction

Sanctioning sorrow-stippled seconds

Snickering snidely sidelong sincere sentiments

Scraping. Searching. Struggling.

Shall society succumb?

Stop.

Seize sunsets.

Savor sanguine stretches.

Swim sage seas.

Surface. Sit.

Stargaze.

Small steps.

Stillness soothes.

Spring?

She survives.
