Michelle Faulkner Poet Acrostic

January

Just in time for annal's first
Anthem of recovery from decadence
Nonsense summer shed, duty toes
Unencumbered line forward, pale impaled
Arctic abyss shrouds frozen flame
Regrets only as almost good intentions
Yields to hibernation of resolve.

Gershon Wolf January 2, 2019 at 1:45 PM This is such a profound, phrase-rich write. Everyone should be competing for 2nd place, except me. (What I've written is a lock for the booby prize, no doubt about it). Happy 2019, Michelle! ~ gw Gershon Wolf January 2, 2019 at 3:56 PM You can visit my site, as I actually have no intention of entering the poem, Be Wary of January, in the contest. I just was in 'a mood' earlier today and decided to let January have it. It's uncontestable that the poem is not contest-worthy in any way, shape or form. :) gw Michelle Faulkner January 2, 2019 at 2:36 PM Thanks, gw (though now I guess I can't visit your site til after the contest is over, darn!)
