*Alliteration Poem – Shape*
30th Sep’17 ~by Venkat
Shadows sunk, stories singsong
Smoke, stars, satires strong
Stalk, stalk, strange spells
Speak, speak, snoring shells
Spring, spring, spirits silly
Shrunk, shrunk, starved skinny
Success stunted, shame swirled
Shadows soft, shape souls stirred

rummaging through memories
from the past
like it was a trunk
of keepsakes and souvenirs
the treasure chest of time
just waiting to be rediscovered

no tears, no crying or sad goodbye
just whispered words, a warm caress
and a kiss they’ll long for ‘til they die

it’s a hard and daily grind
a slave to weekly wages
it’s a life that’s so unkind
no parties with the mighty
the famous and the rich

with my girls
at the playground
my eyes were always
watching them
that’s where my heart was
they are part of me
