Momentum
chugs a motion of thoughts
Circuitous conscious conscience
Defines motives for the purpose of living
Translate into consequences
Promises an end, befitting
Ombudsman
finds a place, within
Dissecting the means by itself
Gyrated by character, chained to
perceptions
Snippets add on in the trail defining ‘Karma’
Sacrosanct to an individual alone and
none other
Vehement
pursuits and denials
Tuck and pull the string of deeds
Bed of roses is ethereal
Unpredictability becomes fear of unknown
Persuading to shelve the self.
Embodied
in a wobbling toddler (slip, thud! slip, thud!)
A serviette is spread white and wide
To cradle residual titbits from mouthfuls
Wipe the fingers dry to feed, chew and
assimilate
Till the next course is served on the
journey
Oh, what a clever and innovative use of the acrostic! (*Adds to personal list of forms to try some time.*) I like the image of the toddler, grounding it all.
ReplyDeleteClever girl! An acrostic AND you totally nailed the prompt. Love the toddler stanza a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like the acrostic poem Akila ~ I bet that last one was inspired with your active toddler ~ Smiles ~
ReplyDeleteGreat acrostic. Stellar work!
ReplyDeleteLike how you wrote your poem! can just see a toddler - slip, thud, slip, thud!
ReplyDeleteAn acrostic...what a lovely way to seal the deal with the prompt and the wobbling toddler along the slip thud slip thud ( how cruel of me)was ultimate image trigger.
ReplyDeleteGreat words and very well written, made me smile.
ReplyDeleteAkila,
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed by the style and the fabulous content of your poem. You cleverly got to mention so much, in so few moves:)

Thank you for visiting my Blog. Much appreciated:)
Nice to find your words, which appeal to me very much. Following your Blog, so that I can return to find you again, Eileen
I love the way you start each verse with the MOVE letters - a very interesting acrostic. And I loved your last line - that gives me the feeling of nice anticipation.
