Cause and Effect

Entropy eventually erodes

Concentration, cultivating chaos.

Life loses luster.

Indolence ignites internal

Pyres previously prepared.

Scorched soul surrenders,

Ending existence.

***

Author's Note: Just a little attempt at adding a bit more challenge to the challenge.

    You def added more to this challenge and much like Hannah I am in awe of what y'all have done!

  • That definitely added to the challenge and it came out really freaking well

    So well done, and very thought-provoking! I really love the extra challenge you added as well! Amazing work, Dana!

    But Dana...wasn't an eclipse planned and ordered and not entropic? I still felt the fire scorching, though.

  • Oh wow, this was so brilliantly done! Loved your alliterations! Such a poignant Acrostic!

  • Well-wrought! Not all burning souls are damned or doomed. The Hermit's Lamp, the Hearth, the Sun. So(u)l.

    Ah, I see! Yes, a little harder for sure! Think you burnt out a bit at the end there...

  • Cathy holmes21 days ago

    So, let me see if I got this right. Everything is a clusterfuck, but since I'm too lazy to work it out, I'm likely to spontaneously combust. Right? Right? Also, did I mention that I love your creativity with this? Well done, you genius.

    Provocative and poignant - predictable? Perhaps. You are skilled!

  • And I believe you did just that...<3
