Double Acrostic (shadow poem)

High pitched "Chip," Dark Eyed Junco's proud official audit
Aerial antics; shaken white tail feather cascading aesthetics
Relays to tumbled leaves, herbed and spiced, hints of chai
Magenta backdrop faded, goldens elusive; magick in static
Outlier squirrel rampage, toggling trash binned critter stimuli
Niblets scattered, half chewed, spoiled, trail an unknown location
Indigo evenings; moonless sky, a moody cedar creaking patio
Canvas painted with jagged strokes between bloom and storm
Itchy prone skin's thirst, robed with a chunky woolly sweater
Systemic inhale, paused; exhaling condensation- it is not vanilla
Turned down, tucked in; lullabies from a pane tapping peeling birch

Author's note: For this challenge, I chose the Double Acrostic, also known as a Shadow Poem. Easy? No, but an ideal exercise to get the ol noggin churning. 😊
