Sandra Adams Poet Acrostic

Another Reason To Dislike Autumn

Feverishly sipping thoughts more than coffee
lingering in the less sweeter days of autumn's hue
uninterested in seeing any beauty in its waking moments

stirring like the leaves as they are stripped from trees
endlessly wishing for the warmth the sun brings
as i shiver through the layers of my tired soul
stripped of emotions, left colorless i trudge
onward through this day like a lifeless shell
not caring for anything more then the fake smile i wear

Line Gauthier October 15, 2019 at 10:03 PM Love your title and acrostic, Sandra. Sandra Adams November 17, 2019 at 7:51 AM Thank you so much :)

Jennifer Proxenos October 11, 2019 at 4:27 PM Hi Sandra, Hope your cool Autumn days are not heralding a very cold Winter. Last year we had a scorching summer, and our spring has already sizzled us at 38 degrees centigrade. Seasons are becoming fiercer every year due to global warming. Go have your shot Sandra, rather safe than sorry! Love your poem, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 6:49 PM I love summer and the heat but i agree with you about the changing climate...our winters have been extremely cold the past few years but our summer's not as hot as they used to be when i was younger...though i think summer lingers more into september than it used to...i need to go get my shot...got a touch of something with the grandbabies...though dr thinks virus not flu which is good... Thank you Jennifer, nice new pic :) hugs

Regina Mcintosh October 11, 2019 at 1:12 AM This is an amazing poem... so true - I haven't had the flu, thankfully, since I was a child, but definitely remember it well. I hope you don't have it. God bless you, sweet friend, with love and prayers for you, Gina Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 9:58 AM I get it if i don't get my shot soon enough, though i catch other viruses and colds as well...being around a hundred or so children a day, it happens... blessings and hugs to you my friend,...thank you :)

Quoth Theraven October 11, 2019 at 12:42 AM Sandra, I like this Acrostic that I almost missed. I agree with all the comments. A rare bright light, even if you fake the smile to cheer the dismal day. -Richard Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 9:57 AM thank you Richard, even if faked a smile is always in place... i tried to hide the acrostic, hence why i didn't name the poem flu season and give it away... :) hugs

Hello There October 10, 2019 at 7:32 PM Oh, ha! and touche, I suppose ;) Well, I am only a novice and you a true poetess, so there may be no counter ;) Lol. But really, if you are sick, my friend,, please feel better soon! This was a most excellent acrostic ~ you sure got your point across well!! Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 9:55 AM thank you my friend...not as sick as my grandbabies or daughter in law, but definitely under the weather with a touch of what they have... hugs :)

Andrea Dietrich October 10, 2019 at 7:05 PM oh my gosh, I am so stupid. Even trying to read it down as an acrostic, I still did not get it until I looked way down at what someone said to you!! GREAT poem!! Hate the late fall but love the holidays!! I rarely get cold and flu, so I am knocking on wood right now. Sandra Adams October 11, 2019 at 9:54 AM your comment made me smile, it means i hid the acrostic well...i get sick here and there from the children on the buses and sometimes the coworkers...it happens, but usually not a severe case of anything thankfully... hugs :)

Gershon Wolf October 10, 2019 at 6:00 PM Gosh, am I retarded or what? I didn't realize this was an acrostic until I saw Vijay's comment below. (One thing for sure: I'm not always p.c. One is not to use 'retarded' anymore at the risk of being fired. Ha, ha: I'm retired)… At any rate, this is great... And there I was chuckling away at how, secretly, you were just adoring Autumn as you penned this. :) :) Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 6:21 PM ok ok, one day out of atumn that i am forced to enjoy...no make that a couple... the birthdays that fall within the season, no other season carries the dreaded flu though...lol thanks for the great comment, you literally made me laugh on this one...and no not retarded, special, isn't that the word you meant? hugs my friend... :) Winged Warrior October 10, 2019 at 6:12 PM You're an idiot savant-like me, Gersh, lol...but I always check the top left for poetic structure, before I share any comment...just saying :o)

Vijay Pandit October 10, 2019 at 5:30 PM Clever acrostic..skillfully written, Sandy! I hear the voice of flu..get well soon! Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 6:19 PM Thank you my friend...made some homemade chicken soup... took some tylenol, now maybe a little of this soup before rest... hugs :)

Winged Warrior October 10, 2019 at 3:44 PM Now you have more time to write sweet poetry...dark and light roast...enjoyed my friend...I've started a prayer vigil...Prayers for Lia...more info at the latest potd or my latest post...^WW^ :o) Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 4:27 PM i wish WW...i won't miss work so need to rest on my down time... hugs :) and thank you!

John Hamilton October 10, 2019 at 3:04 PM It is flu season, the only good thing about it is this poem. Get well soon, I had it last week lasted 5days. Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 4:26 PM Sorry to hear you had it but glad to hear it only lasted 5 days...thank you John.... hugs :)

Bobby May October 10, 2019 at 2:17 PM Sandra you forgot this dumb time change, lol I am with you 100% my friend!! I am freezing and it's not even winter, Excellent pen my friend Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 4:23 PM lol...yes the time change too, ugh...never understood that anyway and it always messes me up for a week or so.... thank you....i don't like the cold either... hugs :)

Chris Green October 10, 2019 at 12:14 PM You have definitely defined the flu season in the most poetic way I have ever read. This one hurt to read because I know what it feels like to have the flu, but it was so well written that one might even forget to feel bad after reading this. Your talent has no end my friend. Wonderfully crafted. Sandra Adams October 10, 2019 at 12:19 PM Wow thank you my friend this made the smile real for a few minutes at least. I believe I have caught the flu... sigh part of the joys of my job :(. Hugs
