2008 (Acrostic)

2008 Happy New Year (acrostic)

Teasing memories of a year now past
Where tears have flowed from a broken heart
Open pages fluttering, craving a brand new start.

Troubles haunt the sleeping vessel in an open sea
Horrors of yester years, wrapped in a pathetic please.
Others' wishes granted for a glimmer of recognition
Understand the tears behind this sunny disposition.
Scarred emotions running deep with no hope of escape.
A lifetime of choking on swallowed words of rape
No voice inside to challenge those who beat the boy
Damn the bullying bastards who trampled hope and joy.

Anger rises daily, fighting to be free
Never feeling easy about the inner me
Dread as hope approaches, wanting just to flee

Excruciating articulation under a cloud of doubt
Inspecting in micro detail the reasons to bloody shout
Growing pain consumes with bloodied razor teeth
Hear my howling agony recoiling from beneath
Tear away this cancer to finally give me release.

    My apologies that this comment is not as detailed as the others, but I find myself having more to say about shorter pieces, I don't know why! But how original! The acrostic works great with the theme of the year, everything the year stood for is made so much more clearer by using such a form.

    My favourite lines are:

    'Scarred emotions running deep with no hope of escape.
    A lifetime of choking on swallowed words of rape '

    Oh how brilliant that you rhymed rape and escape..two ridiculously opposite words, and how it's so striking! You, again make good use of alliteration, 'Bullying bastards', excellent - and

    'Inspecting in micro detail the reasons to bloody shout '

    It's so bitter! I love it, I hope that this year brings more happiness Darcy, but I'd like to see more angry poems from you! LOL you're brilliant at it!

    Wow. This just blew me away. I could tell this came straight from your heart because the emotions you expressed felt so real. Great use of imagery to give the reader a peak into what you went through. A new year is always a fresh start and you may start how you like. I hope only good things come your way in 2009 because you truly deserve it all.

    Well done.
    *5/5* :]
