It's Acrostic Time!

Another challenge from Margo Roby of Wordgathering - Acrostics.  Different kinds.  

"Sentence Acrostic"

The line embedded in the poem is taken from a song by Lucinda Williams: "All I ask: Don't tell anybody the secrets.  I told you."

All

I ever want is just to be with you

Ask of nothing more than simple truths 

Don’t go searching far for answers lying near

Tell me now.  Tell.  And we will both move on.

Anybody will do to spend some time with

The no strings attached, casual romance

Secrets unshared, painless, light coexistence   

I, with my taste for trouble, do not fit

Told. The truth is out finally.  I thank

You.

"Long Line Acrostic"

Slow-motion days,

Unwinding lazily beneath the

Milky skies,

Melt into memories,

Ethereal,

Red.

And finally,

"Double Acrostic"

Sun-kissed days stretching

Underneath the lazy skies, unwinding

Moments and musings,

Melting into memories,

Ethereal and enduring,

Radiant, red.
