Feeble and occasionally a bit foppish
Entertains with Congo music from a distant land
Big bells and drums, funky men in hula skirts
Rabbits hopping in the garden eating up the carrots
Under an umbrella sipping mint tea from a tall frosted glass
Aristocratic and well read, a novelist by trade
Rosemarie Rutherford from the shores of Montezuma
Yawns when you get near

from Therese B -- In most of the lines in this poem, you manage to include at least two words (first word, as well as a second one) which begin with the acrostic letter. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like how each line is like a snapshot of the larger picture. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Therese I had fun with this prompt.
