A Distraction Acrostic
Disturbed by your absence
I sought a diversion -
Some kind of pastime
To take my mind off your eyes.
Reading novels in which the hero
Always wore your cologne;
Collecting stamps by floating them off
The love letters you sent me.
I painted a landscape and the sun wore your face;
Organised my wardrobe so
Nothing you didn't like remained.
I hope you enjoyed this acrostic poem. If you've written one too, I'd love to read it, so please leave a comment. <3

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

This reminded me of Avril Lavigne's song, When You're Gone. I loved your poem so much!
This is a wonderful expression of love and longing.
