Respect – An Acrostic Poem
Resembling someone I no longer know Empty, devoid of emotion, almost inhumane Seeing you, grudgingly, in your moment of glory Pumped victoriously with ego Endorphins swimming with energy Circling the waters like a shark Targeting your catch of the day Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing © Photo by Artur Nasyrov on Unsplash Word Prompts:Continue reading “Respect – An Acrostic Poem”
