Sands Of Time

                    rich in flavor
                    brimming with
                    curiosity

past the etched glass
through the dismal view
drifts the inexplicable

as the oiled painting
the mirror so clear
waits a mere touch away

Portrayed simplicity
Ostensible demeanor
Rests your journeys door
Through tranquil shutters
Alleged peace
Lingers beyond the glass

Author notes

my prompt was windows... i took it as every window is a portal... like many beleived mirrors to be. so i acrosticked it at the bottom...

i have used 47 words.

i hope you enjoy it!

    Wow, very good sis! I don't really know what "acrostic" means but whatever it is I'm sure this poem mirrors it perfectly. I love windows. They're simple things, yet they contain so much mystery. Great job, love ya!

      acrostic is just spelling out the a word with the first letter in each line that's all

      Sharing battles
      Infused with hidden love
      Simple bonds
      Trace future paths
      Eternally grateful
      Regardless of contsant war

      I just made an acrostic of te word sister.

      thanks for the comment sis your the best... and i swear i'll comeent ALL your new poems right after i eat.

      love ya

    I loved this one. I didn't notice the acrostic until you pointed it out in your notes. I really liked this one and how you used so many big words ahah I'm so dumb
