Ever elusive, elation ebbs.
Chaos carves chasms; creativity crumbles.
Life lessons learned leave lingering lies,
Imbuing imagined inadequacy.
Penning prose promotes peace.
Serotonin surges,
Exhilarating, energizing; eclipsing exhaustion.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Very impressive acrostic. Nicely Done!!!
Oh I like this one 😁
I am amazed at how many originals we see from this challenge. Although I am a little vexed with you, I had to look up too any words.LOL
So deep and descriptive. I really love how you took this one to the next level with the letters! Impressive poem - very moving and I love the positivity at the end. ❤️
Gosh this was so powerful, optimistic and uplifting! Brilliant work Dana!
Alliteratively amazing! You captured such an experience so aptly just a few lines!
Yeah. I mean, I don't wish to be inarticulate, but, yeah.
Exactly what writing feels like. Never ending madness, but we find peace in our art <3. I certainly found peace reading your art, Dana, very beautifully written.
Super superb!!! Loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
Not only did you handle the subject matter well and nail the prompt, but you threw in alliteration as an extra challenge and pulled it off. Well done!
Man...this is incredible. Like, you probably knew I'd appreciate this - the tautogrammic verses...the subject matter...and just the word choice, and elegance that is on display here. Teaching us again, how to be more human and poetic at the same time, Dana! well done!
