Poem: "PLUMERE"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came out of the January 7, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from mama_kestrel. It also fills the "know" square in my 1-1-20 card for the Less Usual Bingo Patterns fest. This poem belongs to the Path of the Paladins series.


PLUMERE
-- an acrostic


Plumere, God of Knowledge,
Lead us on the path of enlightenment.
Under your wise guidance we grow,
Master of Mind and of Memory.
Every fact and fiction is in your grasp,
Rare or common, for which our thanks.
Every spark of our souls is known to you.

Notes:

Plumere, God of Knowledge was introduced in "Patches."

The acrostic form involves spelling a word or phrase down the margin of the poem, typically using the first letter of each line.

I love how things I did as a kid and thought were cool apparently have names. I just thought it was a "poem with every line starting with a letter that then forms a word".

I learn more from your DW than I ever could from the "news"! :P
