The Plagiaristic Poet's Take On Vocal Top Stories

This is an attempt to fuse the Vocal Acrostic Challenge with the Titles of Recent Vocal Top Stories with links to those stories if you want to follow. The format is a doctored sonnet as a sonnet has 16 lines and DISTRACTION has only 11 letters so eleven lines, so two quatrains and a tercet.

This is an attempt to fuse the Vocal Acrostic Challenge with the Titles of Recent Vocal Top Stories with links to those stories if you want to follow.

The format is a doctored sonnet as a sonnet has 16 lines and DISTRACTION has only 11 letters so eleven lines, so two quatrains and a tercet.

I will continue merging the "Dancing With Distraction" challenge with my "Plagiaristic Poetry" series until it closes. I know that makes me very lazy but it suits me while it is there and it is a challenge because the first letter of whatever I choose has to fit in with the challenge.
