Haunted (Acrostic)

by Meme   Jul 15, 2012


Haunted by your demanding eyes,
A ghost of a woman is all I am now.
Unable to touch the warmth of our
Nearness anymore. We swim in
The dark shadows together. I'm an
Exhausted soul trapped in the gray
Demanding force you used to be.

**For a club contest**

    I agree with Abed, this screams relationship gone ice cold. When relationships are like that, the love has disappeared, you feel like you are just there... yet you feel invisible. There is no laughter or snuggling or even conversations... just cold shoulders, fights, and bitterness towards each other.

    I love the line talking about a ghost of a woman. You captured a lot of imagery and emotion in just a few short lines, great job. Added to my favs! :)

    I think this is about cold relationships where nothing is heard, nothings means anything anymore.

    You have painted that so well in relating this to ghosts.

    Wow, this was different. What I liked about this is that mostly an acrostic poem is made up of seperate sentences for each starting letter, however in this case you have overlapped them and almost told a story in a way.

    This worked really well for me and added something very unique to your poem.

    Well done.
