H'work October .. ACROSTIC POEM - MY NAME IS .

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Fri Oct 07, 2022 3:31 pm

ACROSTIC POEM - MY NAME IS ....... © The #ScribblyBarkPoet

My name begins with M
Animals are my passion - I know many of you know that
Unless you didn't - but now you do.
Recently I have also been called
Either Maud, or Mausie and
Even Mum.
No surprises there :)

K - I like my middle name but you can guess it - it has fallen into disrepute :(

Clearly that was not of my doing
Like - who would want people using their name in vain?
I don't know why people are so unkind
FFS though I am not really surprised
For the way we treat our animals tells me all I need to know
Of other people
Rarely is it a wrong judgment, and so sadly
Despair fills my heart.

Yep, well done Maureen,
Now animals being your passion would have been an easy question to answer! Now what could that K. be? :D ;)
Cheers

Yes, well done Maureen -
No surprise about the animal theme though.

Some people are just born cruel I reckon!

Goodness, Maureen - first out of the blocks as usual!

This is a real challenge - I've been cogitating since you posted the prompts and still coming up blank! More head-scratching required ...

Cheers
