Susan Woodrow Poet Acrostic

Ambush

A brook cascades daintily extant
~ flowing gayly heart’s incited joy
Meandering, nestles on Peace
~ quivering restraints strain ‘n squirm 
Breaking-bank, careens downwards
~ extols faith’s grim heart-bomb
Undulating, veering waves extrapolate 
~ Yonder’s zooming blue-adieu
Sojourns, so-longs, traversing under veils
~ weathering wry extremes
Heart’s incessant journey keels love’s mainland
~ new opaque's reach... 

(10/7/21 For 'Islands in the Stream' contest)

Chris Green October 8, 2021 at 5:31 AM What a wonderful concept to frame out a enchanting poem that leaves the reader floating in a mist of beautiful exotic visions. Definition: Pretty damn cool. Best of luck in the contest. Susan Woodrow October 8, 2021 at 6:04 AM Haha! if it’s got you floating in exotica then I’m very happy and i like your defined translation Thank you Chris :)

Jan Allison October 8, 2021 at 3:50 AM such vivid imagery Susan, I've never seen an acrostic written with the extended lines. I especially like the Undulating line. good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx Susan Woodrow October 8, 2021 at 6:01 AM Thank you Jan… I wrote it first in my usual style but it didn’t make the minimum 10 lines so i morphed the form lol Glad you liked it :)
