Nazia Sultan Poet Acrostic

Acrostic THIRST

Acrostic THIRST

THIRST dances alone on the empty road
HUNGER steals breath while dust chokes every step
IN heat, the child crawls as the Nile shook
ROTTEN crumbs clutched tight from snatchers’ hands
SILENCE breaks when empty stomachs cry

Decoded message: Thirst steals childhood away

Alison A Smith nee Howarth June 20, 2026 at 5:27 AM I still find these acrostics hard to understand. This message however is clear. Nazia Sultan June 20, 2026 at 10:21 PM Hi Alison Smith, thank you so much for reading. Yes, acrostics can be tricky, but I’m glad the message about thirst and hunger came through clearly. That’s what matters most to me. Appreciate your feedback.
