Karen Jones Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Written May 23 2026 for Simplicity contest sponsor Sara Kendrick

Simplicity Sk

Satin sheets and pillowcases 
Indigo images in mind races
Made my blue bed so in it I lay
Pleased to be ahead of red rat race
Lullaby sweet like licorice stick
I’ll dream sweet of angelic kiss
Cinnamon scented candle soothes
I wear your shirt when I miss you
Though we’re apart I carry you within
You are my heart and best friend
