An acrostic poetry challenge: pomegranate

Peel off, these separating threads Open me up, till my soul reveals Make me wonder, staring at your seductive eyes Enchant my being, whisper sultry rhymes Grant me this, my lonely wish Reel me in, to your insatiable passion Affectionate love is all I desire No one else, but you I admire Accept these words, as my undying devotion Treasures for you and I Enclosed in our hearts

Pomegranate, Red, sweet, and tender, Reminds me of love.

They really do remind of love, not just poetic words. I’ve been writing quite a lot of sad poems lately (most of which are in my drafts) and before I started writing this, I thought it was going to be miserable as well. I guess the poem thought otherwise. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed the reprieve of writing it.

Thank you for reading. Thank you to Rochelle for tagging me to participate in this prompt, and a big thank you to Gaby for giving my words a platform here at iPoetry.

Here is Rochelle Silva’s piece, feel free to participate in this acrostic poetry challenge.
