My little child, don’t come near
Of what awaits you that you fear.
Did you know that it keeps you safe
Until your parent comes and takes?
So keep in mind your fears today.
Only remember this as well
Poor choices that will make you ill.
Except you know when to stay or go
Rarely will you move at all.
And know that I was once there too
Not knowing precisely what to do.
Don’t let fear control your path
It’s only there to remind you of wrath.
Written for two different prompts that I enjoy:
NaPoWriMo – http://www.napowrimo.net/2014/04/day-22-2/
Dungeon Prompts – http://theseekersdungeon.com/2014/04/17/dungeon-prompts-season-2-week-16-our-hidden-modus-operandi/
This is something I would like my nieces and nephews to remember. Fear is there are a warning, something that you should pay heed to but also remember that you shouldn’t let it control you.

Impressive that you managed to combine the two prompts so neatly! And an excellent message my girls would do well to listen to too.

Thank you. Combining prompts can be a lot of fun, but sometimes are more difficult to do. This one went fairly well and didn’t make me want to scream at all.

I love this kind of poem. with the first letter forming a different message . It is fun to see the prompt piece done this way!

I tried to write one last month, but discovered I need to learn how to write poetry first! 🙂

I think trying to write them a bit often helps more than just about anything else.

I sent it to Sreejit (my son) and he gave me some advice, but I felt like I was reading Greek when I read his response; I had no idea how to implement it. I have enough on my plate for now though, but maybe sometime in the future!

I don’t always rhyme with my acrostic poems, but I will admit that I was reminded of what they were called by someone else and had a little reminder about how to write them because my niece was learning about them. Watching her write them for school a year ago reminded me of how much I liked them.
I hope that you are able to write more of them in the future!
