The poem below was prompted by the Dancing with Distaction challenge: Write an acrostic using the word distraction.
Dressed in Armor or Stilettos
I am Ready
Soldiers do what they must
Trust: I am more than your eyes' distraction
Roll with Love? If I Choose...
Automatic Woman
Curves, Muscles
Trust: I am more than your eyes' distraction
Innate instincts to protect who I love
Omnipresent
Natural
