Cannonsfire

Caught in dreams of unity, for
All victims who are oppressed,
Now she takes a stand alone, by
Never wilting in her quest.
Onwards, upwards, she does strive,
No pausing in her rocky drive, to
Seek to save another life.

****************************

For she holds a deep knowledge,
In times of war, and lack of peace,
Rage must be healed, before we can
Even wish for the trapped to be released.

Author notes

Ergh, acrostics aren't really my forte but .. I gave it a shot =/

This is in relation to me reading a few of her works today, based upon the troubles in ireland, with the North not being unified, and the constant battle to end poverty. Also, saw on her page that she is a freedom fighter, so it seemed fitting to write on this topic for her!

    This isn't bad for an acrostic Reads pretty smoothly, and a wonderful tribute to Cannonsfire as well. Thanks for entering

    a real qyest for peace
    imagery is excellent
    determination, perserverance, strenght, willingness, belief in her cause
    a modern day don quixote

    I already have the impression that Cheryl is someone of great heart and it seems to me that you have written a wonderful tribute to her.

    The acrostic... I think you've made very good use of.

    Well I am humbled and touched that you would do this for me hun and it is done I must say in a beautiful acrostic. I do no more than I can do to make myself feel better about this world. I was told when I was 5 by my mother that I was a rebel lol and I don't things have changed much since then apart from me being a little taller and a lot louder Thank you and I would love it if I can use it on my Author's page Dia dhuit ma chara C

    You did good with this acrostic

    Acrostics are not my cup of tea, either. I don't believe I have ever tried to do one. The pathos of the division and poverty. This is very well written, all true, and got me thinking on its salient points. First rate writing.
