So, let’s start again… we could be friends!
I’ll try to tamp down my exuberant, Extrovert eagerness
Lead in quietly… tread softly… tip toe like a timid mouse
Everything okay?
No answer!
Cringing, I scuttle away… clearly, things will be no different today!
Echoes of previous stillborn attempts, ring silently as I retreat in defeat ... for now.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

And that's how relationships are. A skirmish, quite a large part of the time, and nicely woven with the Silence prompt!
Intriguing dynamic of a friendship. 👍
Your format is so very creative. And I appreciate walking into an introvert's world like that...I am one, but I do love extroverts. If it weren't for them, I'd never branch out of my shell.
Good entry, best of luck in the challenge ☺
I like the idea of using (inner) dialogue to drive a bit of a story in this acrostic! Very clever Angie!!
What a uniquely rendered dynamic! This has such a strong narrative voice driving it!
Oh, the protagonist deserves a beak, that eagerness deserves an answer.
Hehehhehehe this made me chuckle! Loved your poem!
Oof! So good!
Phenomenal poetry!
Wonderful poem, Angie!
Superbly penned!!!💕❤️❤️
