Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Poetry and Me

"Poetry is the rhythmic creation of beauty in words" Edgar Allan Poe

Poetic inspiration
Often occurs 
Early in the morning
Tired eyes flutter open
Recalling my thoughts can be challenging
Yawning, I pick up my pen and write

John Watt April 1, 2020 at 12:56 PM Jan, I could never write poetry in the morning, it would come out as absolute mishmush. You, I imagine are a morning person! This is a delightful insight into your morning routine and discipline, and your love for poetic expression is on full display! I'm always a sucker for poetry about poetry... simply delightful ~ John

Leo Larry Amadore August 30, 2019 at 12:01 AM Your acrostic tells of a way that works, indeed...and cleverly validates the concept stated in the old bit of wisdom: a poet/writer is a person who writes....and the more recent advertising instruction: just do it! Well done. Jan Allison September 2, 2019 at 4:46 PM thanks Larry:-) hugs Jan xx

Ann Foster August 29, 2019 at 10:39 PM Oh so sweet, and makes me feel like a "Longfellow" moment. Lovely. However it is hot coffee for me, or tea for three, if the dogs and kittens come for scones.
