Poetry Tears

Pitiful pitter patter, snotty sorrow On top of tattered parchment paper Every poetic pause was a bright idea That somehow turned into vapor Rhyme and reason had disappeared too Yearned for a makeshift poetry shaper The next time I got an inkling of inspiration Evaporation was no longer my condemnation Actually I offered my muse a potent libation Readily rectified that dry pen situation Salty sobs are now tears of joyous jubilation 5/1/16

An acrostic with a touch of alliteration is indeed a "potent libation"... Great write Dineen
