Wistful

“some winters will never melt
some summers
will never freeze
and some things will only
... live in poems.”  -  Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence 


Wishful yearnings, regrets for things wanted, or
In the past are things you look back on which made you glad.
Sometimes you recall those times and then you feel so sad
To know they must remain in your days of yore.
Forlorn you may feel, perhaps pensive, or simply pining for
Unforgettable good times you once had!
Like a boat, you float your longings to an empty shore.

Excellent diction. Very fitting for the word youve written this acrostic for. Especially “ pensive” “ forlorn” goes very well. This is such a heartfelt and resonating write. Absolutely stunning flow of words
