Increasing Shadows Poem by Kim Barney

gee, Kim, i wouldn't have [easily] guessed that this poem had anything to do with glaucoma' as you mention in topics of this poem. but now i SEE it! OH! now i see the Acrostic note, above. that IS a clue! ! ! i was looking for a poem......Shadows In The Dark....for section B of October's showcase. did i get the title wrong, or isn't it in PH? oops! ! ! my error. YOUR 2ND poem is to be Shall I Compare Thee to a Bale of Hay. :) that other one is by Darlene Walsh. heh heh. but this wasn't a bad one to stumble over in my darkness! do you have glaucoma? good luck if you do! bri :) bri :)

I have always enjoyed acrostics. Interesting that many of your poems are 'hidden' acrostics because you don't tell us that they are!

Mortal man must keep his mortality....I liked this prudent expression. An insightful piece...5 stars.

maybe you 'need to' talk to you atheist friend KK? ? i'm hopeless, so no use speaking to me! ! bri :)

I love it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Very creative.

Wow. An interesting poetic interpretation of the experience of glaucoma. I've had some troubles with my eyes lately, so I can relate to some aspects of what you write. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
