One Year Anniversary Acrostic Challenge By Real Poetic

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Alabaster skin conceals the darkness hid within

Nestled snugly

Neath her rosy cheeks and face of porcelain

Icy is the stare that holds the fear from seeping in

Vexed and sworn to secrecy, with no ability to grin

Evil has come, it's

Raised its head

Settled in

And calls her home

Rest assured, before too long

Yours is the soul it longs to roam

    Ominous and dark....everyone seems to be going darker. I better watch my soul, it lunges for the dark. I love the tone here...watch out world.

  • What have you done with Kelli? I beg you to release her! Excellence is hard to comment on so I'll just mosey over to my bar for a cocktail.

    The image is spooky but I can’t stop looking at it. I enjoyed this take on the challenge very much.
