Robert Johnson Poet Acrostic

Bare Bones Bob

Pretending he has all he needs.
On two wheels of ILLUSION, he rides his steed.   
EVENTUALLY the ride is over.
To find him lying in a bed of clover.

Reminicing is his favorite game.
You'd never know he feels any shame.
Partytime comes and he fades away.
Attentive INFUSION leaves him in dismay.

Longing for a comfortable corner.
Always seems the INEVITABLE mourner.
Concience sighs with casual levity.
Evoking riches of unusual CREATIVITY.

Debra Squyres January 15, 2013 at 1:14 PM One I missed before !! Good write !! Sometimes our concience sighs make for good poetry. It's kind of like having a little talk with self and see what comes from the talk...if that make sense. To answer the question on my kitty poem...no I do not have a cat. Though I have had many over the years...and they DO NOT like bows or anything in their hair !! lol

Andrea Dietrich December 13, 2012 at 10:42 PM rereading this oldie. I enjoyed the message and the title to go with it. happy Christmas season to you. I am hoping to find a friend with a cat. I want to get a cat but not a "DUD" this time, just a friendly sweet cat who uses its litter box!!! (that's my Xmas wish!)

Gwendolen Song May 18, 2011 at 6:22 PM Robert- No bones about it, cool! A different take on the contest--sometimes I take a different route on a contest than others and it is penalized much. Oh well, write to your heart's content...continue to be original. It is swell! All the best in the palace competition. I will look for your name! Gwendolen
