Sailing (Acrostic Poetry competition entry 2025)

Sea craft ready to voyage

Away far away along the wind

In search of adventure among

Lands in wild tropical climes,

Islands girt with coral reefs.

Never however will I be sailing

Going to those places far away

Epitaph to James (Acrostic Poetry competition entry 2025)

M y husband how I miss you every day Y our thoughts that lit the room , and too, your smile D eath took you by the hand and lead away E ach hope of joy and love have gone awhile A nd so I sit alone, and do await R edemption in the subtle form of death E ven alone the fire starts t'abate S o solemn is its smouldering, smoky breath T his loneliness does weigh upon my heart J ust me, and cruellest death not concluding A live am I. Perhaps, in some small part, M akes this small life in history books protruding. E ach day I miss you, love, my life, my sun, S oon we shall meet again, two dead in one Charli Withers, 16 MY DEAREST JAMES - the subject's dead husband All acrostic poem titles appear in red in the poetry list RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS
