Memories

"Within the scorn of death's hands you fell, through memories you rise again..."

memories never fade away
embosomed on a summer day
mind recalls the ocean's sway
over dunes where children play
reminiscent thoughts now honed away
in depths of mind, they'll always stay
etched upon my soul they'll lay
scantly rising by the quay

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 9/10/2019 3:59:00 AM Wow Sandra, this is not only a wonderful acrostic but a monorhyme as well! Excellent! I love every line! : ) xxoo Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/10/2019 5:25:00 AM Thank you Connie it started out as an acrostic and as my thoughts fell it started to rhyme so I kept with the rhyme scheme as well :) hugs

Brenda Chiri Date: 9/9/2019 10:13:00 AM What a great entry for the contest! I loved it!;) Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 11:38:00 AM Thank you my friend, it didn't start out to be both acrostic and monorhyme, but the first two lines rhymed so i decided to try and keep it going...from me, who struggles in rhyme :) hugs

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/9/2019 9:31:00 AM I'm with Chris: I too forgot that this was an acrostic as soon as I started reading. Beautifully rhymed and messaged. Best wishes for a win. :) gw Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/10/2019 11:42:00 AM And now you see the fruits of your 'labor:' Congrats on your trophy win in the contest! :) gw Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 11:37:00 AM Thank you Gershon...the rhyme helped with that :) hugs

Winged Warrior Date: 9/9/2019 8:46:00 AM Very well crafted my friend...best of luck in the contest Sandra...but I smell a winner...^WW^ :o) Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 11:35:00 AM aww thank you for your vote of confidence my friend :) hugs

Chris Green Date: 9/9/2019 7:07:00 AM Even though you listed it as an Acrostic, I immediately forgot once I started reading. A simple poem that grabbed me and pulled me in so that nothing else existed but your words. Beautifully expressed. Best wishes in the contest Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 11:36:00 AM Thank your Chris, your kind comments always make me smile, i wasn't sure how i wanted to label it, monorhyme or acrostic, but figured the rhyme was more obvious so went with the lesser.... hugs :)

Vijay Pandit Date: 9/8/2019 4:41:00 PM I like the way you used both acrostic and rhymes, Sandy--not easy to do. Your theme resonates: memories never fade away. Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 4:54:00 AM Thank you Vijay I didn’t set out to do this but the first two lines fell that way so I thought I would keep the rhyme going :) hugs

Silent One Date: 9/8/2019 3:11:00 PM You cant even tell it is an acrostic... that is why it is so wonderful... Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 4:53:00 AM Thank you my friend. I debated on naming it as monorhyme or acrostic but felt the acrostic was less noticeable then the rhyme :) hugs

CayCay Jennings Date: 9/8/2019 2:59:00 PM Beautiful work, an Acrostic that effortlessly delivers is a true sign of talent, add mono rhyme to that and it is an impressive talent indeed. This should do well in the contest, and regardless of contest, is currently doing beyond well as a delightful Acrostic. I have yet to write for this contest, still a 'pondering! Good luck in the contest and all else. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/9/2019 4:51:00 AM Thank you CayCay. I have less time now that school is back in session and I am working my normal hours again. Hard to squeeze writes in for the contests, I hope you find time :) hugs

John Hamilton Date: 9/8/2019 2:33:00 PM This is brilliant Sandy, not often can an acrostic and a mono rhyme together feel like a real poem, but this is a masterpiece, sure should do well in the contest! Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 9/8/2019 2:37:00 PM Thank you... this compliment coming from a poet that can rhyme to a poet that struggles within rhyme is comforting:) hugs
