Karen Jones Poet Acrostic

Photograph

Pulling me into your universe
Holding me hostage there
Only surviving as caged bird
Teal feathers float in despair 
Onyx smile still haunts now
Grateful for future green days
Raping my heart the silver sound
A little cliche amethyst masquerade 
Painting purple powerful poses
Hostage of your drug overdoses

Ron VanHooser June 30, 2025 at 1:37 PM As a former professional photographer, the title drew me in. What I found was not what I was expecting, but the journey was well worth the price of admission. Great poem, I loved the imagery and the flow. Outstanding! Thank you for sharing! Ron Karen Jones June 30, 2025 at 4:47 PM Thanks Ron! Yea I was in a bit of a block and that’s what finally came to me. Lol
