Silhouettes

SILHOUETTES Shadows In the moonlight, Liaisons, Holding hostage Outdated dreams. Ugly contours Etched upon a heart. Tortured thoughts Trampling the Emptiness of Soul. John G. Lawless 7/10/2014 for PD’s Acrostic Time #2

Gosh, this is really good. I hope PD scores it high for ya!!! Better than the average acrostic! As for what you remarked of my Most beautiful sijo, that was so funny. You are so right. I was not thinking of writing sijo those 40 years ago, I was not even a poet yet and I had not even heard of sijo. hahaha

I was thinking of the old, and I mean really old, song "Silhouettes" when I wrote this. Thanks for you input and support
