One Single Impression: Lighthouse (an acrostic)
LIGHTHOUSE
...(an acrostic)
Light shines brightly
Incandescent
Guide for sailors
Heralds the shore
Times of gone by
Home for keeper
O lonely place
Untold beauty
Seen so seldom
Enjoyable

after a brief ferry ride.

You've captured so many elements of the old lighthouse life here.
Lovely. Lighthouses are fascinating.

Jim, very well done. Your words illicit many images to think about. I wrote my piece with memories of Arcadia. I think the New England coastline has a number of really outstanding lighthouses, especially up towards Maine. Put your rollerskates on and come over to my place. :)
Inspired, beautiful. Lighthouses are lonely. And necessary.
Jim I like the way you played with this one, very creative. I especially love these lines ...
"O lonely place

Please make sure to link it at Acrostic Only as prompt #7 ...
I have read books in the past which spoke of the lonely life of being the keeper of the light in the Lighthouse.
Wonderful! The black and white photo added to the times gone by feel of this.
that's really how a light house to us...i remember when i was a teener, climbing the light house in our place through the rocky side of the cliffs!
and there's that significant one you can see at the top, a lonely keeper!
awesome take on the prompt Jim!
good evening there!
Cool acrostic - it's a super read!
lighthouses have a mysterious beauty
such an amazing mix in the life of a lighthouse. wonderful poem.
lovely take on the promt:)...good one
seen so seldom.........yes....!
Fantastic acrostic and you are right- seldom seen. I love when I do come across one though!
I saw an old lighthouse in San Diego late last summer. It does feel like a "lonely place." You wonder how the lighthouse keeper kept his wits.
very nicely done jim!
This is a very good poem. With a few simple words you make me think of so many things. Very well done.
Jim my friend, this is lovely. It gives one a time of peace to think upon those cold winter nights in the the Lighthouse.. I loved it.
love, Melanie
been in hospital again. I think I have sprung a leak, Needed more blood. GLAD TO BE BACK.
Just thinking about you Jim, wondering if this erratic weather we are having here got you down?
