Poetry 201 Assignment 3: Trust, Acrostic, and Internal Rhyme

On day 3 in my poetry 201 class, I was asked to write a new poem containing the word “trust”, using an acrostic and internal rhyme. I must admit, this is getting more challenging but I think I did. Do you think I accomplished the assignment? Here is my new poem:

039

Looking into the FUTURE

Forward gazing into the

Unexplored and unknown.

Trusting and embracing that

Unfilled hopes will soon become

Realized dreams at the end of

Enduring determination, my dear friend.

Gazing at the STARLIGHTS

003

Sun has silently dipped down and

Twilight has gently dawned

Across shadowy fields and the darkened horizon.

Revealing very soon while encircling the pale moon

Lights, minute and sparkling; a tuneless melody

In the clear, wintry night sky.

Glowing, glittering gems resting beneath

Heaven’s vast midnight canopy

Touching our souls and whispering tenderly,

Sleep in peace and quiet hope tonight.”
