a reverse-acrostic, first letter of the last word/word combinations at the end of each line spells out a ‘hidden’ word.


All Hallow’s Eve (lullaby)

Upon the sea where dreams are hiding,
The fishermen's boat goes a-sailing,
Stars above the night are leading,

The lullaby of moon's gentle lowing.
Wynken nods as waves keep onward,
Blynken's eyes with sleep are weaving,

Nod with dreams, skies ever-wand’ring:
In slumber’s realm, sparkly sprites enchanting,
Rest ‘til dawn when harbour lights are nearing.

Liam The PoetBay support member heart!
more of an eye-opener than a drowsy good-night.

Thanks for sharing
