Suicide

Suicide

A Poem by Ben Taylor
"

"S".

"
Streetlamp's
Sworn Secrecy
Sees Someone,
Softly Sobbing,
Swearing Silently,
Sitting.
Salty Sadness Streaming,
Surceased Satisfaction
Sapping Strength;
Skin Stretched,
So Skeletal.
Sightline Shifting,
Seeing Speeding Shimmers
Splash Sidewalks.
Suddenly Standing,
Sprinting.
Strained Screeching
Shatters Silence;
Sirens Scream.

actually really impressed you managed to tell a story here sticking stricktly to illiteration! that's tough stuff. i would strip a lot of the punctuation off of this though, to be frank.
actually... just reading it over again now i think i got it.
the punctuation can stay! haha it's perfectly put, it's just that with short and sudden lines like these they can just confuse, but here they offer a bit of storyline too, since they're two differnt poems when read as such.
"streetlamps sword secrecty" is amazing, love it, goooooood opening line!
when i first read this i got the idea that the subject had jumped off a cliff into the churning waters of the ocean or something. with syrins screaming :P if i can figure out how to favorite this it'll be my first. congrats, this is a sweet write.

Surprised you didn't change your name to something like Sean Sullivan.
On a whim, you've done an amazing thing. Remember what I told you about the magic.
Excellent work.

Standing ovation!!!! I suggest you enter this one into the suicide club contest. On a whim? I am scared to see you actually sit and ponder. Dangerous talent, you are.1000 Stars
