Lamentation (Acrostic)

by HansRik   Mar 12, 2006


Lo! The labyrinthine loneliness prevails
As an absurd allusion to discord.
Meandering senselessly in pain and what it entails,
Every syllable is lost, forever, and so is every word.
Not one shadow plays with fragile rhymes;
Trembling silence is thence, laughing.
And ah! The sweet fables are narrated by endless Time...
Time, the immortal enemy of Life's being.
Ineloquent notes are mourned by blurry silhouettes,
Originating from nothing, for nothing is visible yet.
Nay! The labyrinthine loneliness laments its true set.

Lament: a cry of sorrow and grief.

Acrostic: a poetic form in which the first letter of every line forms a word. Other types of acrostics include poems where special letters (such as the last one of each line, or one following certain punctuation marks) form phrases or words which reveal a poet's secrets.

    I really enjoyed this, I love your choice of words they are fresh and different from so many other poems that end up sounding the same. I also liked how you make each line sound as if it comes naturally and is not forced to some structure, even though the piece is acrostic and therefore it would be. Once again, awesome work :)
