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 September 8, 2019 Acrostic/Monorhyme

Memories are the nearest thing we have to a time machine. A lovely acrostic / mono rhyming poem. Cheers - Gary

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

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

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

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

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 :)

I like the way you used both acrostic and rhymes, Sandy--not easy to do. Your theme resonates: memories never fade away.

Sandra Adams

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

You cant even tell it is an acrostic... that is why it is so wonderful...

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

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

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

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!

Thank you... this compliment coming from a poet that can rhyme to a poet that struggles within rhyme is comforting:) hugs
