Prince Charming?

Tanka Tuesday Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 321

"This week's challenge is to write a specific form with a twist!

Write an acrostic poem with a syllable count of 8, 9, or 10 syllables per line

(all the same, or a mixture of syllable counts, is fine)."

I chose the word "Charm" and wrote a two stanza poem with the syllable count of 9/8/9/8/9 each.

Could he be more utterly handsome?

Have I died and gone to heaven?

All I’ve ever wanted in a man,

Right there across the room from me.

My luck abandoned; he’s with his wife.

 

Can it be, or am I in a dream?

Heavenly angel here on earth!

All I have ever wanted in life.  

Red hair agleam in the moonlight.

My luck abandoned; I’m with my wife.
