Acrostic Poem

Sonnet – 14 lines CAT VERSUS by Tasha Guenther My cat stares blankly at the wall Trying to hunt the light. She flicks her tail and starts to crawl, Eyes focused, fur upright. I watch her, silently, as she creeps Slowly towards her prey. I remain still, as if fast asleep For this is not child’s play. Her moving stops, she is ready To jump up and attack. I see her ascend, now unsteady; I gasp, and she looks back. Her eyes are chasms, black holes throughout, And my flashlight goes quickly out.

Free Verse “Me” by Walter de la Mare As long as I live I shall always be My Self – and no other, Just me. Like a tree. Willow, elder, Aspen, thorn, Or cypress forlorn. Like a flower, For its hour- Primrose, or pink Or a violet- Sunned by the sun, And with dewdrops wet. Always just me.
