Challenging Times

A Writerly Acrostic

By D. J. ReddallPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Competition seems like a fine idea

Healthy, and conducive to real progress

Ah, but there’s a test for gonorrhea

Let not the test, per se, the mind obsess;

Look instead for the chance to overcome

Each part of your current, risible self

Never fixate on the test’s mere outcome

Get on with it: the book’s not on the shelf

Each one that is can overcome itself

Acrostic
