The Last Dance

An acrostic poem

Apr 02, 2025

This poem is for

’s Acrostic April Challenge. This first prompt asked the writer to tell the story of two people that meet while out dancing.

As with any acrostic piece, the first letter of each line spells out a hidden message, so don’t forget to seek out the truth when you’re done reading…

His eyes were the first thing she noticed.
Eyes that demanded her attention.

Intertwined, they danced the night away.
Swaying to and fro to the beat of the music.

Names didn’t matter; their connection went deeper.
Opening passageways between their two souls.
The truth evaded her because she was finally happy.

Reveling in that moment, smiling so wide. 
Even as the poison ate away at her insides.
A choice she made freely earlier that night.
Last dance in the moon’s pale light.
