Topical Acrostic Sonnet
(June, 2025)
  Ava Sender Logan

  As Ava Sender Logan raced downhill
  Vertiginously following a cheese—
  A wheel of Double Gloucester—to her skill
  Set for the future, she was adding these:
  Effective leadership—by being first
  Negotiator of a precipice;
  Disruptive creativity, rehearsed
  Extensively by using hit-or-miss
  Race strategies; and digitally based
  Life competency, proven in the throes
  Of blindly executing breakneck-paced
  Gymnastics, keeping all her digits—toes
  And fingers—whole, to win the prize with ease ...
  No doubt in time she'll be her own big cheese!
