What is This?

Prompt

Broken record

Pick a sound and a word and write a poem
Keep repeating that one word and playing with repeating sound, but not in like an annoying way. Here’s an example:

It’s all sun flares and Saturdays
Under my eyelids
I am a dandelion in the field
Sunshine and water
Soil and song

More overtly, there is a repeating S sound.
Additionally, the A sound in the first line
E sound in the 3rd line
O sound in the last line
The effect, when read aloud, is a pleasing sound, almost like rhyme. There are a pace and pattern to it, but it doesn’t feel obvious.

Now you try!
