Vex me with your too casual shrug
Offend me with the roll of your eyes
Change my mind with the lilt of your laugh
Ask me to come closer with your eyes
Loud and clear without a single word

Ouch, classic. Vocal sur is getting its money worth here.
As always, succinct and witty.
DK what can I say? YOU are an absolute STAR!
Love the example DK!! But now I'm worried about my entry... 😅 Oh well lol
Our bodies communicate columns even when we don’t intend them to. On point, DK! Thanks for showing us the way!
Love this - could literally see it!
Perfect take on body language! Well done.
Another great acrostic, D.K.!
Oooh. This is quietly kinda romantic, maybe? Great example of using the prompt and that specific category. Nicely done, DK!
Well-wrought! Though, I must say, this is a difficult task for some. Non-verbal signals do not always translate between what we now call neurotypical and neurodivergent types, and I suspect a great cause of much confusion over the centuries are just such non-verbal misunderstandings.Then there are those who learn to game the system of limbic synchrony in a Machiavellian manner! That's a whole essay, though, and knowing your intentions are pure, I won't bedraggle you with it!
Very good acrostic DK and a good example - Nicely Done!!!
