Lin Lane Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

February-Shadow Acrostic

Frozen drifts of snow will soon melt upon the high bluff
Ending Winter's hold, in time for warmer days of reprieve
Blooming will be a tulip, sprouted from a dormant bulb
Ring-Necked Doves will happily coo with joyous fervor
Unbound we'll be from the fear of catching the dreaded flu
Anxious for temperate weather to green lawns and flora
Relinquishing its seasonal right as a month of chilly weather
Yielding, February will step aside, for Spring is on its way

Abdullah Alhemaidy February 28, 2024 at 3:01 PM Very beautiful shadow acrostic (full acrostic)! Lin Lane February 29, 2024 at 4:34 AM Thank you, ~AA

Duke Beaufort February 28, 2024 at 11:18 AM Lin this is a pleasure. Flowers and warmth are much welcomed by many of us in colder climes. I particularly like the line you created about Flu--made me smile. It is so unpleasant to get sick, it does grate on our minds when we go out or if someone comes into our home. It is a relief not to worry about that. You put it in such poetic context that brings a long-lasting smile. TY!! Lin Lane February 28, 2024 at 5:35 PM Lol Duke. We’re never too old to learn something new, are we? Duke Beaufort February 28, 2024 at 1:36 PM Lin, I had never seen a shadow acrostic before this one. I didn’t even realize what you did. Your comment response revealed it to me. Now I am even more impressed with you! Silly me thought the title was February-shadow. I’m embarrassed now! Lin Lane February 28, 2024 at 12:23 PM Thanks. I needed a word ending in 'u' to make this a shadow acrostic... February spelled on the first letter on the left and last letter on the right. I'm happy to have made you smile.

Tom Cunningham February 28, 2024 at 10:12 AM An enjoyable acrostic Lin, last day of February tommorow and spring is well on its way. Cant come quick enough. Tom Lin Lane February 28, 2024 at 12:22 PM It sure is, Tom. March truly is coming in like a lion today.
