August Tenth (Acrostic) Poem by Butch Decatoria

AUGUST TENTH

A half-blood prince two oceans made

Under equator sun & Irish shade

Guileless and silent as minds of babes.

Under shadow and umber lies forsook

Son, first born, in American hooks

Touched by Flash of Fire, eye of goddess sees


Through darkness & secrecy, wakes his love,

Entangled in conspiracies, the lion's cub.

Night and light of day, all kingdom come…

These times and wars, our world in hell,

Heaven remade from stolen fates, the Lion's tale…
