Hold your Horses

Next time may never come.

Delirious over infatuation

Instagram photo, salacious

Steering through this blindly

Talks of finally meeting

Radio is blasting away

Avery is a beautiful name

Car in front slams brakes

Too busy looking at phone

Instagram goes silent

Operating table saves life

Neurologically impaired...

Thanks for taking a gander! And do you want to know what's bad for your health? Texting and Driving. As tempting as it is, put the phone down, it will be there when you arrive.

    Now that's how to do a PSA. Fantastic job Lamar!

  • Beautiful way to address such a pertinent issue!! Love this!

  • Totally agree with you! People gotta stop texting and driving. I feel it falls under DUI as well. It is sort of an influence. Loved your Acrostic!

    Yikes that took a turn!

  • Vey Nice

  • Another acrostic with distracted driving. Very well done. BTW, do you realize that you misspelled "distraction"? Just kidding. But did I make you look? It was the most distracting thing of which I could think.

    Fantastically written. And if only more would listen to this. I’m sorry to say but definitely seems heavily generational 😓
