Poems for years 4, 5 and 6 of the Promptly Poetry Challenge.

A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the years following, from August 2024 to August 2025, 2025 to 2026 (provided I live that long, of course).

Snowflake

Saturnine is the word that comes to mind -
Not that it is necessarily apt
Or that it’s the perfect word I find
When all my energy is sapped
From wrestling with the possibilities
Latent in acrostic nightmares.
Aware how futile are my pleas,
Knowing too the form disturbs my ease,
Enough,” I hasten to declare.



Line count: 9
Form: Acrostic, rhymed abab cdccd just for fun.
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 24
Prompt: An acrostic using the word “Snowflake.”
