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.
