Paul Callus Poet Acrostic

Haven

Harassed by forked tongue
Against treacherous rocks flung
Very nearly drowned
Eventually I found
Never-neverland~ Safe ground!

Carolyn Devonshire May 21, 2021 at 8:18 AM Perhaps these rocks are a metaphor for life's troubles. Quite a few of us have trouble staying afloat. I like the thought of finding Peter Pan's Neverland! A clever take on Andrea's contest. Wishing you success! Hugs, Carolyn Paul Callus May 23, 2021 at 7:18 AM Metaphor is the spine of this poem, Carolyn, and you are certainly on the right track!
