Subsistence 'S.O.S' Suggestions

Scared shitless?

Silly sensationalism?

“Sure,” she says.

Superwoman-style seduces.

Supersonic strength sells.

Synthesizes sisters seldom sober,

spirit-softened.

Salvation-seeking smells so second-rate spawn.

Sadomasochistic screenwriters sold simplified self-awareness,

scheduled shenanigans/sordidness,

sacrilegious simulations straddling stormy seas

Sychophants.

Sellouts.

Stubborn sheep

Sometimes self-serving stupidity stifles stinkiness

Sotto voce suggestions summarize strategies.

Similar suckers syncopated.

Shameful.

Stick semicolons somewhere;

start shouting,

“Stop.”

“Seriously…STOP!”

Steady…steady…

…survivor sans self-denial,

“START SOMEPLACE!”

Savior-complex surgeon.

Scuffling scorpion.

Selective scorekeeper.

Starving sculptor.

Sanctimonious succubus.

Some secured secret.

Sweetest serenity

Sage sentinel.

Scum.

Select something.

Scrape.

Scrounge.

Second-guess.

Scrutinize.

Shake superciliousness,

sluggishness surrounding structured strongholds.

Stop.

Strategize.

Start.

Shine.

A tautogram is a poem that has every word beginning with the same letter and it's a challenging form to master. This is my first one and I'm truly grateful for your indulgence in reading it, so I'm hearting YOU right now!

Kindest of thanks!
