Yesterday

Yesterday it seems like 'twas yesterday All thoughts turned to days of toys and more play My lines on the ground playhouse washed away Troubles only came in course of one day Seemed night dreams kept them at a distant bay So think back on yesterday's bike ride splay Far over into the ditch tumbling Away goes the neat dress now loud rumbling Now a tumble would result in disgrace It would be glasses twisted 'pon pained face Looks from people and whispers of that twerp As snickers erupt behind smiles discerp Though too old to a ride a bike, play with dolls They're, well, they're no longer my call Here in today thinking on yesterday To return for only play, no, let's stay Stay in the present gift of this blessed day Oh! visit the past remember days of play I now return to present, life speeds in Believe in the buildiing blocks of back when In reverie scenes 'twere but a dream day Yesterday it seems like it 'twas yesterday Form Acrostic Sponsor: Roy Jerden Contest: Yesterday's Acrostic Written: January 19 and 20th 2014

Very nice work, Sara. It's a bit off what I was looking for, as it's all positive nostalgia, without the troubles or regrets implied in the song. I really like it! Congratulations, Roy

You have mastered the art of A word Acrostic...I've always thought you had to use just the first letter of the line and combine them to form a word or words within the poem, but I can see that an Acrostic can be the first word of the line, and when together forms a line instead of a word...very awesome Sara! I really loved reading what you have put together, and even the lines that are formed by the Acrostic! What a fantastic piece! Great Work!!
