Lonna Blodgett Poet Acrostic

Empty Fields of Plenty

E ntreating our persuasion
M anifesting that more is always better
P owering the effort to provide
T ables languishing with waste and
Y ears of abuse to abundance

F isheries of men
I dle in their satisfaction
E manating from their harvests
L ong overdue in sharing
D riving their gifts of plenty
S traight into the jaws of wastelands

O ver shoals of greed
F ailing to know their heart's content

P latitudes of gratitude
L ay empty and barren
E agerly spent then forgotten
N aked in their humbleness
T o the Gods of Cornucopia
Y ielding to a desolate starving future

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2020 at 6:33 AM "Manifesting that more is always better" - this is so sadly true, we do it, even though we surely know better. Lonna Blodgett April 29, 2020 at 1:44 PM Thanks Caren. It is a pretty negative poem but sometimes I feel those negative attributes need stating. Thank you for the read.
