This is a fine alliteration poem using the letter "S." Nicely presented and tells us a little story of Sara and not getting married. Some very good lines here. I particularly like: "She sheds her suffocating sadness through silent salty tears." Much good luck in the contest. Marilyn

A very well-written alliteration with S works well and the story unfolds unto a sad ending when the planned wedding doesn't take place at all while the sun continues to set.

This certainly made perfect sense and there can be no doubt in anyone's mind that this is most definitely alliterative.
What I liked most about this--and I do love alliteration--is not one single word seemed forced for the sake of alliteration.
All my best to you in the contest.
Well done...

    Thank you, Dean! I had the story in mind and then worked the s words into it. A fun challenge. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hard task! What a sad, sorrowful story. Such stress to use "S" for so serious a story! Seems "S" speaks more of silly stuff, and soul-stirring stories seek some sonorous sounds, so to speak. But, beautifully done ... still!

Saturated indeed, a ship load of letter "s" alliteration sincerely happening in this well written story that sadly tells of a wedding that sorrowfully never happens.

Surely captures the strongest essence of this contest spot on.

Should make a sound entry into this contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem is amazing. I am so very impressed that you were able to compose this poem with the abundance of letter S. You've managed to write a great and complete story in just 100 words and with the difficulty of alteration. Very challenging. I am curious to know how long it took you to compose this work. Good luck with this contest.

I love this beautiful presentation. The poem is Sweet and the imagery is Sensational.
I would love to try this challenge but I doubt that I could bring it to your level of expertise. Keep on writing with that creative pen. HUGS....
