Where Is the Library

E ve’s
N ight breeze
C arries flames
H igh over the
A mber cascade hill
N arrating a deadly
T irade; creeping house to barn
E ver so close to the spell bound
D welling of yesterday’s alchemy

H istory abandons answers that cure
O bligated to leave the mystery
U nheeded it stands alone waiting
S ignifying true convictions
E ngulfed in an ambushed glow

A martyr is contrived
B ehind the wild fire
L etters burn bright
A bove the
Z ephyrous

Wow! Clever stuff - an Etheree and an Acrostic combined, all wrapped up into one cohesive and fabulous whole. Congratulations on your high-placed win. Regards, John.
