Greetings, @samsmith1971!
I'm grateful to Dreemport for this interesting challenge, and to you for the detailed explanation of how to respond to it. For reasons I have yet to understand, it often takes a challenge to inspire me to creative efforts, and this was no exception... thank you for the reminder that a contest was afoot. Here is my entry:
"Time's Undoing"—A Sonnet
Now I'm off to support some other entrants to the challenge, and I'll return to edit this message once I've completed that task.
I've visited and engaged with several authors, and hope to do some more later.😉
