Brian Davey Poet Acrostic

Mountain of Madness

Mountain of Madness




  Mystical powers of dark secrets live here
    Ordinary people will change from the fear
      Underneath the dirt is home to its demons
        Narcissism is this mountains achievement
          Terrifying crevices and hollow creeks
            Anarchist climate not for the weak
              Intelligence lives within its whispering winds
                Nighttime encloses all men in sin
 
      Omnipotent when you listen to unspoken words
        Frightening in a manner that's quite absurd

  Maniacal is its theme to which you relate
    Agonizing in no memories as it captures your fate
      Delirious you'll become if you travel too far
        Numbing your mind in a mental spar
          Echoes of everything to drive you insane
            Solidifying its control of your meager brain
              Silently you weep because you can't remember your name

Timothy Hicks May 25, 2016 at 11:10 AM It definitely was a difficult contest for me to judge ... the themes and styles that people wrote in were so incredibly varied. I tend to gravitate towards a lot of imagery and metaphors, as my personal preference ... I wish I would have wrote for your Fire Contest in time ... lol. Brian Davey May 26, 2016 at 6:12 PM I am sure it was a difficult one the entries I read were really good for this contest.

Timothy Hicks May 24, 2016 at 4:12 PM True insanity ... but with your wits about you enough to write an acrostic ... lol. Thanks for participating in my contest. I enjoyed the journey of where your words took me.

Robert Heemstra May 16, 2016 at 10:28 PM Reading your poem takes me back to 1999! (no fooling) My marriage ended before Christmas that year. On top of all that had a Power Point presentation to give the next day. I don't know how I did it but my presentation on the 1970 Kent State shooting was a sensation in my Desktop Publishing class. During that time spent most of my time at a lake up the mountains! Great write! Brian Davey May 17, 2016 at 4:51 AM I am glad I could take you down memory with my write! I appreciate your kind words and for sharing your story with me! Have a great evening
