Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Halcyon

“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.”
 Lana Del Rey


Happiness with peace for the masses comes sporadically,
And at times it feels like periods of great prosperity or
Long-lasting peace has come not often throughout history.
Changes in politics or times of trouble or war
Yank away the good times causing for many stress or tragedy.
Oh, how I long for the ‘80’s. Down came a mighty wall!
No recent decade can match it, and I was having a ball!

Miranda Hawley October 7, 2023 at 10:39 PM The 80's, the decade that held most of my childhood and my early teen years. Happiness and peace we all want that to coincide. Good job.

Hiya Sharma October 7, 2023 at 10:10 PM Awwn, the description of those halcyon days without an actual stress of war, when everything strummed in the heavens of harmony, tied together with peace.. Your acrostic poems are always so meaningful and so full of depth, dear Andrea.. I absolutely enjoyed reading this one :)
