Juliet Ligon Poet Acrostic

Goodbye Love

Goodbye first kiss; into
Oblivion our last.
Oh, Romeo, could I ever let go of a lover's clasp?
Darkness is still, hovering limp.
Beyond eons of lost breaths, you live
Yet your lungs give no lift.
Every hidden kiss is etched in the stars. Could I ever

Love another you?
Oh, Romeo, let nightfall swallow me, too.
Vehemently, you slip away with hesitation.
Every melting heartbeat hastens my fate.

Connie Marcum Wong January 20, 2020 at 1:27 AM I read version 2 first and I think I prefer it just a hair more than this one...but both are pretty outstanding Juliet! You write Acrostics very well! : ) xxoo

FJ Thomas January 6, 2020 at 6:39 PM Lol Juliet there's a star by your name! That means premium member ;) Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 9:27 PM Lol, I like your comment. FJ Thomas January 6, 2020 at 8:52 PM Lol if I could reach the stars you'd never find me on earth ;) Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 8:40 PM Well, that's news to me! Did someone gift it to me? Did you bring down a star for me?

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2020 at 3:36 PM just like the tragedy, filled with emotion of love and sadness. beautiful, Juliet (oh, and that goes with Romeo!!!) Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 5:27 PM Thanks, Andrea. I hadn't written about him in a while and I thought I'd give an acrostic a try.

FJ Thomas January 6, 2020 at 1:41 PM Juliet this is lovely. You should host a contest that requires similar style writing. That would challenge brains! Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 5:23 PM Thanks, FJ. That would be fun, but I'm not a premium member. Just freeloading for now.

Chris Green January 6, 2020 at 1:35 PM This was really nice Juliet. You have woven your thoughts beautifully in this wonderful acrostic poem. The subject a bit sad but still melodic. Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 5:00 PM Thanks, Chris.

Sandra Adams January 6, 2020 at 12:10 PM good acrostic....i think i like version two slightly better but both are good... :) hugs Juliet Ligon January 6, 2020 at 5:00 PM Thanks for your opinion, Sandra. Same here.
