I said our little chat about streaking gave me a little inspiration, well here it is.

Another #acrostic #sonnet

Streaking Bacon

#poetry #blueskypoet #poem #Bacon #protest
"Stop eating meat!" The screams ran through the street The outburst of a thousand angry boars Rampaging past the butchers in a vast Enormous raging piggy protest hoard Among the scene no shirts or pants were seen King sized rears, unclothed and wobbling Free Imposed their proud display upon the crowd No shame, as people drooled voraciously "Get off our backs!" They yelled, "We're more than snacks!" Butt cracks and sacks exposed to the city A squealing mass of nude pork, bold as brass Chanting their veggieganda heresy. One problem with the protest they were making Nothing tastes as good as streaking bacon

Today's prompt has two meanings, the photo shows one, but you can use either. (Some of you would have anyway 🤣)

Sorry, I did a dumb and forgot to post last night. Today's picture provides a light dusting of snow in the woods.

I'm a bit of a day late, because It took longer than I expected to write this... also i broke the rules a bit.. 🤣
But this is for #AcrosticJanuary #Gentle and #promptcombo #nightfall.
(And a new form I've never tried called Virelai, because i hate myself and acrostic isn't hard enough apparently 😅)
Now that light has gone, Inky black has drawn Gently His deep stain upon The night sky,  forelorn Fall we Aching, lost, we morne Longing for the dawn Light sees.
