Funom Makama Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Wistful: characterized by melancholy; longing; yearning for something one knows will never have

Wistful

Wishes are never horses, making beggars be less cheerful
Increased interest to the unreachable despite being careful
Subjects, condemns and stimulates one to be less grateful
The moment shortens the stretched hands and makes nothing wonderful
Feelings fiercely negative, make the coveted powerful
Unidirectional is the attempt which feels unlawful
Loving someone who will never love back, shows life is half full

CayCay Godwin December 18, 2018 at 6:19 PM I am impressed with your command of Acrostic, what a long list of 'brain-teasers' you have created. I read a few, and like this one, they are deep and thought provoking. I think you've well written more than anyone else I know. Poetry hugs ...

Gary Bateman December 18, 2018 at 5:35 PM Hello Funom!! I must say my old friend, this is a quite wondrous Acrostic in every respect, with seven palpable and powerful messages rendered from your verses spelling "Wistful" as the poem unfolds. I liked this one very much!! A FAVE TOO!! Cheers and Best, Gary Funom Makama December 22, 2018 at 9:01 AM Thank you my beloved friend. It has been a while and I really miss you and other friends here. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Paul Callus December 18, 2018 at 3:28 PM Reaching for the unattainable, especially where love is concerned, could lead to pain and sadness. Indeed, as you well say, life can never be full. This acrostic in monorhyme for is worthy of praise, Funom. // paul Funom Makama December 22, 2018 at 8:56 AM Thank you so much Paul, my subsequent acrostics will be in monorhymes from now on.

Brandy Nicole December 18, 2018 at 1:42 PM Wishes are tiny dreams reaching for the unreachable. Sometimes, these wishes come true. My heart rejoices knowing this fact. "Loving someone who will never love back, shows life is half full" This thought truly touches my heart. This is beautiful and emotional, all at the same time. ~ Brandy Funom Makama December 22, 2018 at 8:50 AM Yeah Brandy.. Thank you so much for your comment. Merry Christmas.
