never devilish in attitude nor derelict in thinking

10 of 12 given 'D' words:
devilish derelict darkness drench drizzle 
drywall (a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate ie gypsum board)
dandelion (a weed with yellow flowers but with health benefits)
diapason ((n.) a full, rich outpouring of melodious sound)
dispensation (something that is distributed or given out)
deafen

never devilish in attitude nor derelict
in thinking but the darkness in creativity
may drench more than just a drizzle
to dampen the confidence

it may be as thin as a drywall to
overcome with ease but it has the
tenacity of a stubborn dandelion

the tendency to erupt into a diapason
of melodious talent is always there

its tactful dispensation of musical
strains is so pleasing to the ears

it helps to deafen the presence of
hecklers out for some mischief

    I like the comparison in the second stanza, for there is so much strength in the nonthreatening-looking dandelion.

    Darkness in creativity can indeed be an interesting addition, which can both constrict or provoke action. I too loved the tenacity of the dandelion. I really enjoyed the D-sounds.

    Nice mood change, Hank. When I first starting to read this I thought, "rough characters here. Then with the sounds of "diapason" everything sweetened up. BTE, diapason is a new word for me. And my Collins-English Dictionary built into my Android Samsung Smart phone doesn't know the word.

    'it may be as thin as a drywall to
    overcome with ease but it has the
    tenacity of a stubborn dandelion' Very true, criticism should be overcome.
