Ann Gilmour Poet Acrostic

Poetry and Me

Poetry for me is all consuming, encompassing pain from tears I have shed
Only Poetry Soup lifts my spirit up high; I write poems from inside my head
Early each morn or late in the night, a time of hope as I pray I can write 
Though if my muse doth take a snooze, I call her name gently and to my delight
Rose returns from an afternoon doze, full of rhymes, acrostics, clerihews and prose  
Yells of delight if one of my writes is placed up high with words I’ve transposed
As each day new friends write inspiring posts, for poems I have lovingly penned
Now I live all alone in the place I call home, where tranquillity begins to descend
Dreamlike images from my soul, come and go like the sea’s ebb and flow
My life feels meaningful once again, with sunshine not rain, I’m loving life so 
Enwrapping my soul in a cashmere stole that transports me to places I yearn to go
