Introduction

This is a bit rushed because I only caught this the day before the deadline. You can check out Penny Fuller's Challenge here:

Conch

A Conch is a sea snail and Conch shells typically have a high spire and were used as helmets in the Books Of Corum which are still a favourite fantasy read of mine and you can read more.

For my poem, I will do it as an acrostic, which won't hit the hundred words but it will fit in the spirit of the challenge. The music is an AI-Generated metal song of the poem.
