Black Eyed Susan Poet Acrostic

September

Singing birds outside my window
Every morning, merrily twitting
Purple tulips when I open the drapes
To let in the light; it pours over my face -
Except when the neighbor is on his mower,
Motor grumbling, closer and closer,
Bedsheets hide me as I curl in a ball, this
Evil noise is ruining my wake-up call! Eventually, the
Roaring subsides, and I’m revived, by nature’s reprise


9/3/11

Received 3rd place in "Fall is Around the Corner" contest

John Smith September 3, 2011 at 12:05 AM Great acrostic with smooth flow, use of assonance, consonance; the words mesh so well. Delightful.

Andrea Dietrich September 2, 2011 at 9:35 PM I like this typical look at a Sepember morning at your house, Susan. Great assonance in that last line with the i sounds, as well as alliteration of the R's! I also enjoyed the way you described opening the drapes to those purple tulips. So homey! Luv, Andrea
