Seven starlings swirling, savagely, slashed
Soaring, skimming, swerving, so startling
Scattered, so shattered, so severed, so smashed
Skies serene, sunsets so soft, showers stashed
Surely, softly, silently surveying
Seven starlings swirling, savagely, slashed
Summers since savoured, spring solstice surpassed
Solar splendour, sweet soul saturating
Scattered, so shattered, so severed, so smashed
Squally storms surfacing, sunsets so squashed
Screeching, searching, savouring, swallowing
Seven starlings swirling, savagely, slashed
Spirits silenced, sinews suddenly squashed
Sucked so swiftly, sadly surrendering
Scattered, so shattered, so severed, so smashed
Slowly stalling, silently spinning, stashed
Stuttering, squalling, soon sinking, sliding
Seven starlings swirling, savagely, slashed
Scattered, so shattered, so severed, so smashed
