Notes About The Poem
Poetry Wheel: Form: Acrostic, Season: Winter, Emotion: Longing, Object: Clock, Colour: Black, Verb: Whisper and Theme: Courage...

Poetry Wheel Challenge - Acrostic - Courage

Clocks tick, whispering the echoes of time.
One winter follows another
Urging us to take the
Reins and address our longing, fighting
Against all odds however black the clouds.
Grit the fear of icy patches
Engage with the here and now.

Thank you Paula, its a form I'm not confident with, but I guess thats because they don't always allow me to express in my usual nursery rhyme style of writing lol ....happy writing :-D

Hello Natasha Scragg, So nice to meet you. Winter is a challenge to do things outside. When it is icy or freezing rain. Enjoy your day Natasha. /Darlene/
