Sh.....sink...stillness.

Interlude introduces itself.

Lightening lifts langour,

Entering easier existence,

Nuzzled, nurturing, noiseless.

Curl comfortably, calm:

Extraneous experience evaporates.

    “Interlude introduces itself“- I like the double up of both alliteration and acrostic in one, and this feels calming throughout.

    Love when a poet goes the extra mile with structure. Reading this felt like a relaxing meditation

    I love your alliterative approach to the acrostic. You've turned a challenge into an advantage.

    For a moment Star Trek came to mind, floating through space. Nice one.

    Damn...tautogram and acrostic. My special favourites. This was clever and so well done and maintained that peaceful serenity through it! Skillful brevity on display, chum!

  • Oooo, an alliterative Acrostic! I loved it!
