Sinister snarling swindling scandalous scoundrels secretly slither shamelessly Implicitly interrogated ‘bout innermost insidious illegitimate impertinences Ghastly Grotesque grimacing gumption gorging gruesome gimmicky gossip Netherworld’s nauseating narcissistic nefarious nature nibbling at naiveté Obnoxious oppressors outrageously ostracizing offspring to oblivion Facetiously fondling flip flutter floundering their frayed frazzled foibles Tyrannical temperamental tempestuous tumultuous targeting tallying triviality Haphazardly harnessing halfhearted heinous hypocritical homicidal hatred Exploiting embezzling extricating explicit evil entangled ephemeral effrontery Tetrad of treacherous tyrannical tycoons tackle tantamount transfigurations Implicit intermittently incoherent infernal insanity idling illicit insidious insolences Malicious misanthropic madmen monstrously manipulating mangling mercilessly Erroneous euphemisms explicitly eclipsing evolving estranged etiquette’s eulogy Staggering systematic spiritual stagnation symbolizing society’s sign of the times AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on April 22, 2018 for contest SIGN OF THE TIMES sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON - RANKED 4TH

LOL sounds like a showdown to me, ^WW^. Does your entry look like this?

I've never seen an acrostic done like this before, even though I admit I am very new to the poetry world. It seems a bit dark or realistic, depending on how you look at it. Well, done!

It's pretty dark alright. That's how I get when I haven't had my ration of chocolate. LOL Thanks for your visit, Pat.

Combo acrostic with each line a mind-blowing alliteration feat. Nicely done, Line!
