Falling In



Acrostic: "A poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence."

This is the fifth entry in my Acrostic Adventure series. As he travels deeper into the city he begins to lose his sense of self. He is standing on the edge of nothingness waiting to fall in.

**The "Overlooked City" is a poem that I wrote a few years ago. If you haven't read it, take a look. [link]


Falling In

A subtle yet enticing fragrance slowly
Pulls him further into the Overlooked City.
Assuaging his senses like a million tiny
Tentacles, anxious to feed an insatiable hunger.
Hold on dearly to what makes you human.
You never know when it will save your life.
