Silken silence segues slowly southwards… sulkily suppressed
Icicles inch incrementally into introspection inaudibly
Laughter languishes… lost, loveless, lonely
Eventually envy envelopes everything
Nullifying, negating nearby noise…
Ceasing chatter… contentment
Evaporates…

Oooh I really enjoyed reading this one Angie- not only is it alliteration in every line, but I love the decision to descend syllable by syllable. Feel like this could easily have placed! "Icicles inch incrementally into introspection inaudibly"- favourite line:)
Love the structure of alliteration throughout. Very creative Angie.
You’ve painted an alliterative masterpiece quite masterfully! Great acrostic and challenge entry, Angie! The L line really hit me
Spectacular!
Oh, but your alliterative acrostic poem is so superbly, sumptuously sublime!
Oh the perils.
Whoaaaa, an alliterative Acrostic! That was bloody brilliant!
An Acrostigram! Nice take and well-executed.
Angie this is so clever! I love the idea of using tautograms for each line and then the way your syllables decrease with each line! Not to mention the picture you've painted with your vivid imagery! Nicely done!
