Paul Callus Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

February

Far from the madding crowd                       
Enjoying your share of diversity
Bathing in the air of Aquarius 
Relishing sober amethyst translucency 
Unfurling your sails to winter’s breeze
As you float on violet and primrose hues
Realising with humble intent
Yesterday’s dreams and ambitions.
