Bridges help us cross chasms and
rivers, fissures, and gaps.
Imagine no bridges over Earth’s raging and winding waters.
Divides between people need bridges to cross.
Gorges of separation can shrink; let’s gut the hate, work to
end the hurtful splits in the world and
society. Shore up the bridges, shower sensitivity and charity, fill those gaps.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

What a great acrostic, Andrea! If only everyone could see the necessity as you do!
Oh! I like this one. I didn’t realize it was acrostic at first. Went back after reading a few comments. Very clever.
We need bridges of all kinds. Beautifully phrased.
I think it's more about burning rather than building bridges at the moment. Thought this was a great poem. Well done.
So true, and yet the business of burning bridges is at an all time high. Still, well done!
Modern society still needs to learn how to build better bridges! Great poem!
Insightful and hopeful in the face of harsh truths. I feel this one deeply! So glad I popped onto Vocal to read a few pieces, including this one which immediately caught my eye. Powerful!
So beautifully expressed, Andrea!
Unpopular opinion but I feel the world would be better off without bridges 😅😅 Loved your Acrostic!
Timely message Andrea. If only… well maybe four years from now we will see some rays of peace.
Oh boy. This speaks TRUTH. Not only in society but in family and friendship units too.
Great acrostic! Great message
Good writing and wonderful poets abuot bridge
Nicely done, Andrea. I looked up some articles on Acrostic poetry because I am not very familiar with it. They can get quite complex. I must try one; you have inspired me.
