For the ''Vocal Acrostic Challenge'' by D.K. Shepard
Here's a link to the challenge:
Very soon, as it will be clear,
Obvious notes must appear.
Can you think of the right words to use?
As I write this, a part of me will refuse...
Like a sound denied to my ears.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Congratulations! I like how it’s about Vocal and words refusing to appear.
Love the added complexity of a rhyme scheme with the Kendall!! Congrats on second in the literal life (in the moment) category of DK's challenge!! 🎉
Love the direction you took this and the rhyme gave it such a smooth flow! Wonderful work, Kendall!
Great acrostic, Kendall. <3
I loved how this was related to sound. Very cleverly written!
Yes, yes, with a jolt this brings me back into the Vocal world. And I hope this poem, like an invitation of sorts, also brings me some new inspiration.
Heyyy Kendall, I'm backkkkk! I can comment now hehehehhe. Loved your poem!
Strong entry here! Excellent work
Great acrostic. And nice it’s sound-related!
Dog whistles & cat calls, one & the other all at the same time. Unending noise in my head surrounded by ubiquitous silence.
