Sweet Lullabies (Acrostic)

by Poet on the Piano   May 22, 2012


She has always blossomed like the rose of Juliet,
Waiting for the night echoes to love her once more and
Endlessly approach her lips, with the sound of music.
Each lullaby her children sought is here
Tonight- and there is no regret when she dreams.

Losing sleep over dancing with the wind,
Uttering no more than whispers to keep,
Lucid touch of his name, the silk beauty none but her see.
Laying across dew of dawn and memory's feel
At the mouth of sunshine- she will not let day end
By running on oily breaths like a tear stained painting.
It's never too late to call upon him and wish
Eloquence to live on through him- where
She will sing and dance with her beloved, forever.

Written for P&Q contest. (May 16, 2012).

    I think, line 3 should be approaching, seems to flow better, but that is only my opinion.
    Each in line 4 needs to be a capital E
    Line 9 capital L for laying, Line 12 capital I for it's.
    Those aside, A great effort at an Acrostic poem.
    I like the imagery with breaths like a tear stained painting,
    However my own personal opinion I prefer acrostics to be written where the first letter of each line starts that line. (a bit confusing I know!!)
    Example rather than line 2 running into line 3 to pick up the 'E' in endlessly, I would have preferred to see Endlessly the start of a line in it's own right.
    But hey this is only my opinion and I don't want to take away from your ability to paint pictures with words.
