Shouting voices,
in unison of form.
Last hour a thunderous crash.
Ending, as it always must, with
no more entries.
Cessation, all acrostics committed to the
eternal silence.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Clever!
Lol, I'm guessing you had your fill of reading them. They'll be back! Be warned!
Clever take on the challenge!
This made me chuckle. Well played.
Very cleverly done! And now silence.
ooooo! Are you sure it had to be you though?? (just teasing!) Damn, this was clever! Great work Stephen!
Get out.
Lol, I love this. Perfect.
Brilliant!! A perfect concluding piece for a splendid challenge :)
LOL, yes, this is a fitting 'end' to the silence :)
A fitting and inevitable epilogue.
And it had to be you. I remember you did a similar thing for the Abecedarian challenge many months ago. Loved this, as it goes, because it always feels like a treat when we get a piece of Roddewig original poetry. Well done, sir.
