Earl Schumacker Poet Acrostic

Sunken Treats

Sunken Treats

Sea swells lost my memoirs of HER
Under waves to caustic mire and murk’s DESIRE
Never to be seen again, that’s how it IS
Kegs of rum float up though, through ghostly grays, FOR
Eternity which finally released them, but not MY 
Note book and papers of my lost LOVE

Terrible things are in the underworld DEEP
Real emptiness and pain score my lonely FEELINGS
Ethereal measures from sea and storm EMERGE
Arise from hidden secret depths, WITH
Treasures of my sweet wife, love mementos as I wait to see, THE
Summoned property that was buried beneath the WAVES
                                         

                                                                                         Acrostic Contest
                                                                                         created: 4/26/2014

Joyce Johnson May 17, 2014 at 8:36 PM A great loss well documented. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce Earl Schumacker May 18, 2014 at 11:01 AM Hi Joyce, Thank you so much. I know this is a dark and deep piece. I actually had to employ some of my contemplative faculties to make it work. (without pay of course....We're not unionized.) I guess what I'm trying to say is; this poem was difficult to write but rewarding. Thanks again for your kind words, Earl
