Notes About The Poem

6/24/2024 for Double Double Words to Bubble 2 Poetry Contest sponsored by Joseph May

First Time, Last Fling

First time I saw you - I don't recalL.                                            
I do remember the light of lunA          
Radiating upon your lovelinesS,                    
Seeming, like in a picture, to make time halT.  
Then, years later, the eternal image oF 
The somber shrinking last trace of you, girL, 
In a slowly disappearing taxI -  
Maybe, it will always feel too sooN...
Everything must have an endinG.

Crystol Woods June 26, 2024 at 10:02 PM Ah! You wound me with words! Assassinate me with acrostics! You made it seem so easy and effortless to write such a challenging form. I love the 4 words rather than two and you were able to get your point and emotions across in such few words and tight strictures! Amazed... this is enviable. Xo Crystol Woods June 30, 2024 at 8:48 AM Nice!! :) David Crandall June 27, 2024 at 8:49 AM Thanks so much Crystol! I do not mean to do you harm, Though your comments do disarm. Rather, what I'd like to say Is that your praises make my day.

Hilda Greenhough June 25, 2024 at 9:30 AM You nailed the acrostic style. The story is enchanting. David Crandall June 25, 2024 at 11:48 AM Thanks Hilda, matching the first and last letters was a challenge, especially the last letters, not that many seem to end in "i"!

Kim Rodrigues June 24, 2024 at 11:13 AM Nicely done acrostic, David. The light of luna…the shrinking trace…slowly disappearing. David Crandall June 25, 2024 at 11:49 AM Thanks Kim!
