: Bread Please by Lea Tonin1
Acrostic Poem writing prompt entry

Bereft begs on blood-shredded knees bread, please
Ragged clothes and skeletal  arms rattle bread, please 
Empty red soil infertile cold fields bread, please 
Ask the children with bowed bent backs bread, please 
Drowned in the dust is grandma's heart pain bread, please
 
Pleading victims wars ravenous repast bread, please 
Lamenting the winter the soldiers bear hunger bread please
Extoles no virtue starving the masses bread, please
Animal flesh the rotting earth totters bread, please
Savage ending one open hand grasping bread, please
Exiting life children's withered mouth whispers. bread....please.
 


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.

Author Notes
As the earth's natural resources deplete and food becomes sporadic the starving increase and disease runs rampant, We must look to ourselves and rise above all our petty BS and see the world and what's going on here and now.
