Emile Pinet Poet Acrostic

Serendipitously

As you peruse through stacks of old photos,
sentimental tears guide your emotions.
Drowning in pools of yesterday's tears, you
serendipitously find Mom's letters.
In your rush to finally leave home, her
advice was met with frustration; and yet
without protest, she swallowed her pride and
applauded every milestone you achieved.
Time takes you back to when you last saw her;
stirring emotions you forgot you had.
For you never told her you loved her; and
questioning your heart, you begin to cry.
Isn't it weird how much you miss her talks now?
Alone, you deal with the hurt you're feeling,
by garnering love from those memories.


(2nd Letter Acrostic spelling “Serendipitously”)

Line Gauthier February 25, 2018 at 3:22 PM Beautiful nostalgic poem about dealing with the guilt of maternal love taken for granted once it's too late. All that's left are memories and old photos. I love that the acrostic is with the 2nd letter of each word. First time I see this variation of the form. Well done, Emile. Emile Pinet February 25, 2018 at 5:51 PM Thanks Line, all of your comments are appreciated my friend, Emile.
