Today’s prompt challenges us “to write a variation of an acrostic poem. But rather than spelling out a word with the first letters of each line, I’d like you to write a poem that reproduces a phrase with the first words of each line. Perhaps you could write a poem in which the first words of each line, read together, reproduce a treasured line of poetry? You could even try using a newspaper headline or something from a magazine article. Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy this prompt.” (Full NaPoWriMo post available here.)

The posted draft has expired, but here’s its erasure and a blot of a forest to keep you company.
