For Duff’s writing challenge #10.

Image via Wikipedia

Forced to finally take a stand,

Outraged by cruel hurtful words.

Romance between distant cousins,

Bringing disgrace to their family.

Intimately kissing in public places,

Daring and bold they have become.

Dancing with bodies pressed close,

Embracing for the whole world to see.

Not caring what others may think.

Lovers destined to be together,

Only wanting people to understand.

Voicing their honest and true feelings,

Enduring trials of forbidden love.

you take the cake

As acrostics I once did stake

Distant cuss
If maternal are absolutely okay,
Let them in love openly play
This is not incest
If that’s what you want to say
Darla ma’am
Let them have their own way.

Wooohooo! Great Acrostic! I love that style and yours was perfect it flowed perfectly I did no’t feel a single line was forced which is really hard to do with this style. Good entry!!!
