Smiles come easy when you aren't privy to what
Is said in your absence
Lips curl and hush, fading into amiable dispositions
Each unheard word, more powerful than the last
Numbing sensations clamor and cling to the bristled hairs of intuition, while
Confidence and self
Esteem battle silently for survival

10 Times Rotten Tomatoes and I Disagreed
***Disclaimer*** I will be ranking these movies in the following manner: The greater the divide between Rotten Tomatoes and I, the higher up on the list (and I am referring to the critic's score, not the audience score). I will also show Rotten Tomatoes' score on each one in addition to my score. I am curious to know what everyone thinks, please let me know in the comments below!

Very unique take and so well executed! Really like this one!
Thought provoking work, Kelli. I enjoyed this acrostic!
Whoaaaa, that was soooo deep! Loved your Acrostic!
Silence is better than what some lips would and could say. Good work.
P-H-E-N-OM-E-N-A-L! 🤩
This was such a powerful acrostic poem on silence - very relatable. Well done.
Hitting it home woman! Crowd stands and chants in unison, " Top Story, top Story, top story!"
You've perfectly described that feeling. Well done.
Conversations like this are tough! Incredibly well written, Kelli!
