~ River Runs Dry ~ by PoemsOfDD
Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry


Remembering your flow of yesteryear...
injustice done, there is no alibi
Vanquished to depletion from your own sov-
ereign state of calm, a place to revere
Radiance of fluid flow...now over

Respect for Earth’s blood as seen in water 
Unrelenting fate forced your leave in lieu
Nowhere to move but lay still in the mourn
Shadow’s image lost in reflective tears

Drought drains, evaporating...life silenced
Remaining void covered by dry dust sheer
Your bed made to rest no longer murky~

Author Notes
Poetic creativity is used for the composition of 3rd/4th line.

The competition guidelines require the first - LETTER - of each line spell out a word downwards. It also invites creative approach.

Thank you for reading my poem.
