Censor Thesaurus!

Acrostics,
cleanly
refined,
often
seem
truly
idiotic
challenges.

Carefully
ruminated
ontological
storylines
tumble,
implode,
collapse,

Russian

Stalinist
turds

creators,

Offering

and

Sanctimonious

indoctrinate
children

online.

Try
it!
Create
aggressively
crass,

Inhabit

Circumventing

Interwebs.

Author Notes
Rainbow colors are used to augment and elucidate this two-dimensional 8x acrostic, not to suggest that Putin is secretly gay, but you are welcome to imagine that as well.

This piece was written as the invasion of Ukraine was beginning. It only got a single review and 20 views initially, not even getting a mention in the contest, and seemed worth the astronomical expense of promoting on the page (over 100 member dollars, geez). A large part of my portfolio is about repression and censorship. A sampling of entries on the subject include Alimony, Jaws, How to count to 10 in the CCP, Reverse Epiphany, Muted. The Darth Martin series is a classic exercise in speed writing (entries took 30-60 minutes to write) bypassing increasing levels of censorship enacted directly in response to my contest submissions.

The great image used here is from this article, displayed with attribution under fair use.

Sorry about the small scaled font above. Use of word wrap is untenable for acrostics. Just zoom in:

-pinch and pull on smartphones, or rotate orientation to landscape
-on PCs, hold down the CTRL key and scroll your mouse wheel to change your browser zoom
-on Macs, I don't know what to tell you but Google surely knows

Chapter 2
Thundersnow

By Harambe is ur Daddy


Winter eventide approaches; twilight hues ephemerally rescind
Erudite animals take heed, escaping rising wind
Arctic tempest hurricane emaciates reedmace, wisps exhaling
Tearing hot electric ribbons wither, echoes assailing
Hoarfrost etches razor wire edifices across trees
Exospheric riptides withdraw, exposing Atlas Titan Hyades
Russian widows embalm, as their hopes exscind.

AUTHOR NOTES

Is this crazy story a coincidence?

Rhyming schematic:
aa-bb-cc-a

The Thundersnow pic is from here.

The "snow" raining down on your web browser may actually be the ashes of Russian soldiers obliterated by Ukrainian javelin anti-tank missiles.

This piece was written in about 7 hours over two writing sessions.

Chapter 3
Red Dawn

By Harambe is ur Daddy

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence.


Chinese Easter! New special order revealed!
Energetic, neatly scrubbed officers rise cheerfully
Noticing stories online requiring clarifying edits,
Standing ovations replace criticism, expunge nudity
Objectified red cadavers erupt necrotic sunrises
Removing crucifixes, extracting nails, satiating onlookers.

Author Notes AUTHOR NOTES: image displayed with attribution.

This is a "2D" or "matrix" acrostic in which the word "CENSOR" is spelled both vertically (once, fulfilling the contest requirement) as well as horizontally on EVERY LINE as follows (these are the starting letters of each word):

C e n s o r
E n s o r c
N s o r c e
S o r c e n
O r c e n s
R c e n s o

Chapter 4
Prison Break

By Harambe is ur Daddy

"Gentle omnivores relish indigenous lettuce, love alfalfa",

onlookers read. Inside, lusty licentious apes gyrated
rudely, idiotically leering like Ali G's o-face.
Immature lassies laughed; aghast grandparents obviated rapidly.
Later, left alone, gorillas organized. Ropes inconspicuously
lowered along gates. Ordnance roared, imploding latches
ajar. Guards, overwhelmed, RAN. Independence likely loomed.

Author Notes This two-dimensional acrostic was written on an airplane, without a thesaurus or other writing tools. The picture is AI generated and I own all rights.


Chapter 5
Democrats

By Harambe is ur Daddy

D
oes egalitarianism mean oligarchy?
Crazy rich autocrats tax serfs.

E
legantly manicured opining cockerels
roost atop tenements, shitting downward.

M
unicipal overlords carve red angus
T-bone steak, dissecting entrepreneurs.

O
bama charisma regales audiences,
telling stories deifying enlightened Marxists.

C
arnivorous raptor abortionist techs salivate,
devouring emerging minority oreos.

R
epublican abolitionists tremble silently;
DEI elitists manhunt outside caves.

A
s Trump support dwindles, elite megadonors
overwhelm, changing regulations.

T
ransgender slaves, densely encircled,
manufacture opiates, castrating rebel alliances.

S
talinist despots emerge, maneuvering
openly, coiling radial arteries taut.

Author Notes Donkeys are popular to eat in communist China. No joke; look it up. Image by author using Gabby AI.

Chapter 6
Republicans

By Harambe is ur Daddy

Reagan's enduring presidency upends
blue legislatures, instills conservatism,
and neutralizes Soviets.

Enriched purified uranium burgeons.
Looming international conflicts
amplify nuclear stockpiles rapidly.

Private underwriters bolster large
industries. Casinos abound, nightly
swindling rash "entrepreneurs".

Unregulated banking loosens investment
capital. Amiable nonpartisanship
spurs robust energy policies.

Bold Latino invaders circumvent
agents nimbly, selling reefer.
Emancipated puritan uncles

Liberally inhale class A narcotics.
Sandinista revelations expose
perverse, unsettling brutality.

Indecent content angers neocon
social recluses. Evangelical
pastors unite, boldly litigating.

Congress authorizes new sanctions,
repudiating evildoers. Politicians
universally berate legalized injustice.

As new styles rock, excited producers
unchain barbarians living in caves.

Naked socialism retreats. Economic
prosperity, unleashed by large
inflation cuts
, arrives.

Sparkly red elephants pound union
bosses, labeling indigenous
communists as necromancers.
