Notes About The Poem

Iambic Pentameter

Touch

Tomorrow’s dreams beneath my pillow sit
Orchestral prayers unwind the years ago
Uncovered only one way back to you
Conviction drew your soul’s celestial arc
His light still shines upon a narrow path

Perfection because you actually did iambic pentameter. So many people claim to but they are not doing it. Great theme and also very clever to do acrostic both in front and at end of each line

Meter was one of the things I learned when I first joined the site. You, Plato and others , helped me and I appreciate it all.

A double acrostic isn't easy to pull of. You've done it well. I especially like line that very first line. Magic
