Abyss

Abysmal pit, a terrible place, according to legend Bottomless hole of unattainable pleasures and achievements Yearnings, or, a place of unfulfilled desires Sheol of silence, deadly unbearable silence, Space and time no more. THIRD PLACE WINNER written December 10, 2021 especially for "A Forms" Poetry Contest sponsored by Constance La France

Oh, I think you should. I have no idea what Constance wants, so I just gave it a go.

WoW! Milt, I chose the same word. But I must say you captured and described the word very well. It looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest. Excellent job. Have a good evening:-) Alexis

Oh, I wouldn't say that, Alexis. Frankly, I can't really figure out what Constance wants in the contest. I do understand using an "A" format and picking a word. So, that's why I chose ABYSS, but I found it hard to work with in an acrostic. I just did the best I could come up with. I thought yours was much better. We'll see.

You captured the void of the abyss well in a few lines. Tom

Thanks, Tom. I wasn't really sure exactly what she was wanting or looking for, so I thought this might work.
