Abstract

eryone 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.</p><p id="680f">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’.

Inner Compass

An acrostic haiku series

Image by Ali Kazal on UnSplash

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.
