Cause and Effect
An alliterative acrostic poem
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.

Lover from Long Past
Lover from long past, how are you doing now I wonder? Does your long hair still brush the chair when you sit down? Do you still have the same laugh as I remembered from high school? Have you... got married... and have a soulmate and sweet children to put a smile onto your face every hour of the day?

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

Excellent alliterative challenge entry, great take on it
I love aliteration! Hugely underrated in my opinion. Great job.🥰
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...
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.
Well, you had me at entropy!! This was stellar, bravo :) I have entropy as the last line in one I'm working on. We'll see if stays put, lol. Such a great entry, truly :) <3 sissy
Piercing piece of poetry professor. A challenging challenge indeed and you pulled it off!
Spectacular!!! Loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
Oh...nice. You did a similar thing to my most recent entry! Well played sir...this is perfect!
Provocative and poignant - predictable? Perhaps. You are skilled!
And I believe you did just that...<3
