Halloween Horror

Moonlight hidden on a foggy night

yellow eyes glowing under a scarlet veil

shadows soaring on abandoned walls

this could be the stuff of nightmares

A String of Acrostics

Acrostic Poem – SWITCH

6th Sep 2017

Switch these eyes
Wild and naked
Into my uncertain lust
To make walls of breath
Carry my eyes, into them

Acrostic Poem – GENTLE

5th Sep 2017

TERPOGIJC

a reverse acrostic poem

System

Awkward, accusatory and dooming,
Lie the letters, staring, glaring.
Painfully pointing fingers, from the fatal
Hand of society, chip away the self.

Because life can turn you

Upside down and

Inside out, leading you astray

Learn to build bridges

Acrostic poem – poetry challenge

Radient
And
Iridescent
Now
Beautiful and
Overwhelmingly
Wonderful

For Acrostic Challenge

Hell hounds howl at cold and distant moon
And slough off their humanity like skins,
Pretending as they shed their flesh cocoons
Perhaps they’re more than just a beast within.

For Acrostic Challenge: Empty Glass

Murky vessel
In the sink,
Lying spent in
Kind with stink:

I scarce remember
Tippling you.

Loser: Acrostic poem.

Acrostic poem Loser

Submitted by lyski

Lost my direction lost my way
Over the Piha hills into mums pink pills

Unreasoned

So they gathered through all the seasons
No plan, no goal, no reason
Anyone would have thought they had agoraphobia
Reality, they imagined, could be held back forever

 

Socially seeking some satisfying Saturdays
Never needing new nighttime neon
All agreeing an admirable agenda
Rich raw results really render

Capital

Clawing
Avarice
Pouncing
Insidious
Taxing
All
Lies

contravene

Cunningly the poet signs in words

Of their own message

Replenish ~ Acrostic VI

Restore in me what I’m craving

Echoes and dreams don’t satisfy

Paths diverging and converging

Enigma ~ Acrostic VI

Ever am I enticed by your advance and retreat

New again, this old dance of ours so sweet

Intrigued that your heart is now to me returned

Guarding my own against that for which I’ve yearned

Me, entranced and on my knees

And you, the riddle inside a mystery

Empathy, an Acrostic

Extend your soul from its deepest self
Meeting sorrow while not fearing pain
Place your feet in their shoes of sadness,
Accepting tears as moments of emotional rain

Blood: An Acrostic

Bleeding out, pools of rich liquid, red.
Lying here on the floor, I am cold, I am broken.
Only I know what happened
Over here in the dark. Please
Don’t leave me alone now…

My mountain home is calling me
In my veins saltwater flows
