Trouble - An Acrostic poem inspired by Colleen's post , but mine turned into a double acrostic with a more somber twist. It may even be more of a story than a poem. When I saw the word 'trouble' my father-in-law came to mind...
Thriving in life's sunrises and sunsets
Reveling in life, travel, staying active,
Over the last century he's lived a fulfilled life,
Unaffected by pessimism, his sanguinity
Bestows a light on all who walk in his circle.
Legendary in his knowledge and keen memory,
Enervated and full of pain is his body now.
Taking each day as it comes, persistent agony
Rarely breaks from its stopover, but complaints
Outstandingly never fall from his lips. It is
Unusual for the query to escape, but he
Breathes gently before asking when the distress will
Liquidate his bones and muscles, when it will all finally
End.
Maybe you can relate? Perhaps you're in the same situation with a loved one? It is painful to watch him suffer, especially when he has been happy-go-lucky his entire life, through the ups and downs...
On a lighter note, if you find yourself at a loss for words, desperately needing poetry writing inspiration, visit Colleen.
Thank you for reading.
