Exceptional Sometimes, this old house gets lonely... Once in a While by Y. M. Roger Acrostic Poem writing prompt entry

Over the back fence, children play,      Now there’re two…sometimes many more -      Chortles and squeals ignite the air      Each time I crack that ol' back door...      It really seems quite hard to think,      Not even two decades ago,      A joyful din of our tykes’ cries      Would dance ‘round that aging willow...      How the time flew and now they’re gone -      I’m left with mem’ries and a smile.      Lord, just to hear their small voices      Even if but once in a while…   Writing Prompt Write an acrostic poem. Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title. See an example in the announcement.
