Mike Gentile Poet Acrostic

Chasing the Seas

Why I agreed, I’m not really sure
Others had pressed me, gave me a brochure
Ready or not, I’m off to Jamaica
Look Mon, have fun, it’s a piece of cake-a
Don’t worry, be happy is their favorite song
Chasing the seas, I went right along
Rounding the corner of upper deck B
Using the handrail to steady the sea
I finally settled into my sea legs
Sipping on cocktails, now my stomach begs
Especially for olives and caviar eggs

Silent One October 11, 2017 at 10:48 AM Great acrostic, not a big cruise fan myself, not a big fan of the oceans.. this is well written though.. Mike Gentile October 11, 2017 at 11:07 AM Thanks, I'm not a big fan either , rather have cocktails on land!!!

Darren White October 11, 2017 at 4:55 AM Love this wonderful acrostic, it rhymes, has a great meter too. I had to chuckle because of the ending of this line: "Look Mon, have fun, it’s a piece of cake-a" :) Mike Gentile October 11, 2017 at 7:30 AM Thanks so much Darren, I'm so glad you liked it !!
