Inner Compass
An acrostic haiku series

Left behind that part
Of my tendency to get
Stuck in distractions
This new awareness
A tuning into what “is”
Needs some attention
Dial into lost!
Feel for an inner compass
Open up what’s next
Unafraid of change
Now with authenticity
Dive into it
Thank you, Galit Birk and Steph Thompson for the acrostic poem writing challenge! Everyone can feel a bit lost now and then. I stuck with the theme of Lost & Found because it resonates well with the idea that we all have an inner compass for just such times. We just need to quiet down and dial into it to find ourselves and get unstuck.
An Acrostic Poem is a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a specific word, as in the above; ‘LOST’ and ‘FOUND’. I invite the following poets to try it, using any word(s) you choose: Ramblings Anon, Field Of Wishes, A Shayens Abran, Vixen Lea.
