A Broken Promise
A Broken Promise

Halfway through the year and more
Acrostic rears its unwelcome head.
Promised avoidance once before,
Perplexed and bewildered now instead.
Yesterday is long forgotten,

Now is the moment most insistent,
Each and every thought begotten
Will bow to request made so resistant.

Yes, though sinews groan and do protest,
Exactly this must be attempted.
Acrostic decreed as this week’s test
(Remember never again be tempted).


Line Count: 12
Rhyme ababcdcd, etc.
For Promptly Poetry, Week 31
Prompt: Write an acrostic poem using the phrase: HAPPY NEW YEAR
