Lover Advice - a Word Acrostic
QUAILING; lover heal thyself
Quail from your downward darting kiss
from making an ars of yourself
your unwarranted rage does tell
downward ever downward you fall
darting where mosquitos dast not
kiss and make up, apologize

A unique retake of Sassoon's line Jim - I can visualize that mosquito
One of the few good things about summer's end... the end to mosquitoes... and yes sometimes we have to apologize.
the anger, the fall, the apology - a great trajectory.
It can be a downward spiral....until the apology. Nice one.
My favorite line: "QUAILING; lover heal thyself"
Very cool the way you started with the complete phrase, then also worked it in descending. Wonderful write.
cleverly written. enjoyed
I like the way you’ve included both the vertical and horizontal in your imperative poem Jim! I would most definitely ‘kiss and make up, apologize’, without argument. 😊
What a clever interesting response to the prompt line! Love the "telling off" nature of it. Well done!
clever twist using the first line, a failed apology is akin to a nasty mosquito bite!
