Chris Green Poet Acrostic

Touches of Sorrow - Sharon's Acrostic

Touches of sorrow 

Today’s sorrows
Offer lonely reminders of
Unforgivable yesterdays
Causing the pain of endless
Heartbroken tomorrows


For the “Touch me with Words” poetry contest

Dean Wood July 12, 2017 at 2:59 PM Such a sullen tone in this poem. I agree you have some tough competition but this should do well. I like it (for what that is worth)! - Dean Chris Green July 12, 2017 at 3:05 PM Thanks so much Dean, unfortunately it didn't make the cut. But I am happy you liked it.

Darren White June 28, 2017 at 5:39 AM Love how the small acrostic moves from today to yesterday to tomorrow, and speaks about sorrows, heartbrokens, lonely and pain. So much not said in so few words. Good luck in the contest my friend :) Chris Green June 28, 2017 at 8:43 AM Thanks so much my friend. You should read some of the others entered in the contest, wow, there are some incredible poems entered.

Lin Lane June 27, 2017 at 10:18 AM This acrostic mirrors the poem I posted today, Chris. We're both dwelling in a bit of sorrow, fictitious or not, it's a great write. Chris Green June 27, 2017 at 11:48 AM I wrote it after reading yours this morning so it seems yours stuck with me as I carried the feelings into this poem. Thanks so much Lin.

Mike Gentile June 27, 2017 at 10:02 AM Enjoyed this Chris, Very true but there is always hope. Chris Green June 27, 2017 at 11:48 AM Thanks so much Mike and yes, you are right.
