Tropical (Acrostic) Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

T ropical was your love when we first met
R ight under the shade at the coppice gate
O utpouring your feelings when closer you sat; and
P urred my emotions like a tamed kitty-cat
I was much thrilled while bathing in your love; and
C linging to your velvety skin many a dream I wove
A las! My love vanished like those ethereal dreams so soon
L eaving me to long for a life and to perpetually mourn.
