Alaeha Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 Started this out to just be another poem, and three lines into it, I looked and saw the potential for an acrostic... So I wrote that. And if this seems darker than usual... That's probably because it is. I've been a bit depressed for the past few days. Despair Devoid of all warmth, and cut off from the world, Empty of hope, left (by choice) all alone. Surrounded by joy until slowly he's curled Pleadingly, to a ball, begging not to be shown. All around him, his family, just wanting to aid In his "trouble" are helpless, for they've never known, Really, what's in his life, it was never displayed. To be saved from depression? A kind, wishful thought Rarely found by the one most in need. It is fortunate, though, for but few ever fought Until Darkness gave way and they truly were freed. Many more just give in, 'tis an easier way, Pain is tolerable after time. Having seen brighter light, having known happy day, Shall I ever write happier Rhyme?
Salinye Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 Wow! That was really great. First of all to have the first word of every line forced to start with a specific letter, secondly to make the words flow poetry style, and thirdly to have it fit the theme of the two words. You have my applaud! ~Salinye
Cheyenne Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 OH! I really liked this. It flowed so smoothly that it took me reading others replys to see all you had really done with this. I might add though, just as there is a fine line between love and hate so to is there one between despair and joy. It may seem easy for another to say but believe me, despair can be vanquished with the correct sword. Don't give up. You're a very talented writter.
