Tim Ryerson Poet Acrostic

February

For better or worse...
Ever the thinker, ever the worrier
Brooding like the dark waters of the deep
Restless, wandering, tormented soul
Undying urge to answer the unanswered
A need to solve that which is unsolvable...
Return me to the seas where my answer lies
Yes, let me swim those dark waters...again

S.Jagathsimhan Nair August 15, 2015 at 8:35 PM Congrats Tim, i particularly like this piece for its departure from the usual stuff one expects in poems on the topic of months.

Charlotte Puddifoot August 15, 2015 at 4:49 PM faye is right, it gets better with each reading, and i read it many times! i didn't quite get it initially, until i realized you were coming from the astrological pisces angle, then i understood it! it's very cleverly written, unique - congrats on your win in my contest!

Faye Gibson August 15, 2015 at 4:30 PM Ah, Tim. Me thinks you describe yourself and not the month. Congratulations, my friend. Glad to see this on the winner's list; i loved it the first time I read it. It ripens with age.

Jan Allison August 15, 2015 at 4:06 PM Dropping back with my congrats Tim:-) hugs Jan xx

Casarah Nance August 15, 2015 at 3:41 PM Back again to grats your win!! :)

Eric Boddie August 14, 2015 at 2:50 PM to dive deep in thought....is what so many have sought....but distractions are everywhere....but these words have inspiring flare....

Andrea Dietrich August 12, 2015 at 12:45 AM wow, Tim, you went very personal, like in an astrological sort of way with yours! I hope she puts it on the winners' list. Me too!! I love when I get on a list of Charlotte's. Lincoln, my hero, was born in this month, and this poem reminds me of Lincoln, so good and yet so melancholy he was. were you describing Pisces in here too? with the sea imagery?

Afolabi Muideen August 11, 2015 at 8:03 PM Lol!!! Excellence penned , it is beautiful and I love the it flows............A.M.
