Fraught with inequality, my dreamer's dreams devolve–
Well, woes just seem to follow you, and nothing do you solve.
Uhh, I'm in my own private idaho, save your snarky observations.
Oh please, your whining begs for my erudite solicitations.
That's what you think you're giving me? More like judgement by the buckets.
Really? Cos I see a quitter, someone cashing in with wads of fuck-its.
I can't believe you said that to me. All I do is try and struggle.
Try-ing is exactly what you are, annoying like a muggle.
Leave me be, I cast you out! Take a short walk off a plank.
How about asking for some advice for once, if I'm being frank?
Educate me then, oh wise one, I'm all ears and inquiring mind...
You need to stop pretending that our lives are intertwined; screw the haters, give self love, and embrace a life that's true and kind.

If you take a quick glance back, each 'speaker' follows their own acrostic that hopefully gives a richer meaning to the last line :)

Very clever use of acrostic form for a dialogue poem! Nicely done!
Futile abd Worthy, that was so brilliant! My face part was the announcement muggle one, lol. Loved your double Acrostics so much!
Witty repertoire of words, great banter back and forth. I have to say my line that I enjoyed the best -'annoying like a muggle.' gave me a chuckle and clear understanding of the character. Well done
This is a brilliant challenge entry, Heather. It elevates the dialogue into a lyrical delight! Great work!
Dueling acrostics. Sounds like a mental sport. Clever work as always, Heather. Great entry!!!
Ooh, I needed that pointer at the end, but very cool.
This is really celverly put together and carries a great message, too. What an excellent entry, Sis!
