The Letter S

                                                                           I like the sly sarcastic swirling letter s.
                                                   I like slippery snow for sledding.
                 I like slicing skis screeching down the slope.
I like sequels of a series that send shivers down your spine.
                                              I like strong sliding saxophone songs.
                                                               I like panda bears sassily eating sasa.
                                      I like sleek sailboats that strike through the spattering waves.
                                   I like spicy salsa smattering salty chips.
                             I like sweet syrup soaking soft waffles.
I like the silly scintillating saccharine letter s.

    My word, this is awesome! What a fantastic piece! I forgot to mention in my audio comment: your structure is interesting -- and I won't point out what is interesting about it, so others can find for themselves -- but I like the way it wanders about the page. It's a great addition to the piece, and it also works as you wander/shift between subjects in each line.
