There is a lot of lovely

Posted on Sun, 19 Jul 2015

Very cleverly written. I too

Posted on Sun, 19 Jul 2015

Very cleverly written. I too like acrostic poems, but so often they do feel rather forced, but this doesn't, and the bringing in of the initial letters for each line seems very neatly done. I particularly like the lines Threatening all but...

Can you see the stars clearly

To be ignored can hurt so
