read write poem napowrimo day 27 let someone else take the lead. thanks to carolee for today’s prompt. take a word that’s part of you — your name, your birth month, your favorite animal, your guiding principle. write that word vertically down a page and use the letters to start the lines of a poem. always wanted to try acrostic form…i choose harmony; photo: Smokin’scoobs1969, flickr

happiness beckons in continuous kinship
arresting the anger cuffed and stayed
reconciliation chain entwine simpatico
mischievous madness manifesting nowhere
optimism spreads sweet strawberry jam
nesting resentment cleared and cleaned
yielding yawns wishy washy yummy yearn
