Deviancy

8-Letter Unscramble Exercise

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Vice is dicey cyanide I don't deny

Acidy candy will invade

With vane advice.

.

Forced from her caned divan

I vied to dance with the canid diva

Though she is avid to dine on me.

.

Her idea is to vend me as an iced viand

In her vined cave of acned decay;

But in her nave she is the naive one.

.

I will deny her my envy and

Be the traveling clot in her main vein.

    I think I need to take some acid and read this again. 🤔

    I read this as a reverse whatumaycallit. It worked better for me that way. I like this one a lot.

  • Hey Gerard, I was wondering if this was for Heather Hubler’s Unscrambled Challenge. Because that requires us to use a 12-letter word as the main word from which we unscramble from. Anyway, your poem was brilliant!
