Heidi Sands Poet Acrostic

Loneliness

(L)one dandelion seed on a bare stem
(O)ver the bridge once traveled years ago
(N)othing ends up feeling like something
(E)ver so softly, a kiss blown in the wind
(L)ove skates, now the ice is melted
(I)nvisible turmoil that no-one can see
(N)ights without stars, heavy mornings
(E)yes blink to erase the same thing
(S)orrow fills ponds, puddles are reminders
(S)hadows and reflections can turn into one

Sotto Poet September 23, 2023 at 1:32 PM Your metaphor, my friend, is a magnificent display of beauty and symbolism—a solitary dandelion gracefully standing over the worn path of a bridge that was traversed long ago. I am captivated by the way you skillfully employ elements of nature to vividly depict your overarching theme, Heidi. Your words have been exquisitely penned.

Silent One September 23, 2023 at 7:45 AM I can feel the loneliness in your acrostic, right from the first line where you described the dandelion seed all alone... Great acrostic.
