Ink Stained Forests

An acrostic

Sibilant hushes

Implore, quixotically, for quiet

Little mouths born to fill out the world around them

Ecstatically exhale unfinished thoughts

Noble enchanters with magical tomes

Cage the wriggling wildlings cacophonous voices

Evincing entrance to the ink stained forests of imagination

Sean A.

A happy guy that tends to write a little cynically. Just my way of dealing with the world outside my joyous little bubble.

    Great acrostic, Shaun, although in my experience, libraries tend to be more dynamically noisy places now. I want to visit the library of this poem.though.
