Acrostic Spring

Spin not for me the yarns of Winter's past
Print no poems to speak of such gloom
Raise all hands to herald the sun
Invoke the gods of soft rains
Nothing to mourn here
Getting warm yet?

OK, already - so I wrote a poem . . . I'm not in the zone for poems right now, but I did it anyway.

No rhymes - sorry.

P.S.
OK - so what's next?
Haiku, you say - ahhh! Poems;
I'll get right on it

Yes, of course I'm gardening!

Here's another one:
Something within us
Makes us all human
Inspiring us to do great things
Live life to the fullest
Enjoying the things that surround us.

Discovering, experimenting
is the way she works
at growth in all thing poetry...
nuances and quirks —
essentials first, then little frills
some fragrance here and there
quiescent, loud or modulating
unguentary fare —
everywhere!

Thanks, Daniel, for the "nice job" comment.  Acrostics are such fun to write.

Nice work, David;
another provocative piece
noticed by Nancy, who poetically
commended and expressed appreciation for
your continuing work with acrostics

deLighting in you both, Daniel  8)

We sometimes wonder what
Eternal mark we 
Leave on others.
Love is so far reaching!

David makes good reference to the
One and only Son who
Never turns away
Expectant seekers.

So glad you liked that one, Daniel.  Here's one in sentence form:


Give thanks
Outcry blessings
Do onto Him, for He is the

Lord, who
Outpours the respect we deserve and
Vindicates
Everyone who confesses their
Sins, and makes them pure once again.

Your level of acceptience relies not
On how much you pray,
Understnd He is a loving and forgiving God.

(Sorry about the different line lengths.  It was the only way I could convey the acrostic.)

Sorry if I'm late posting in this forum.  Just joined a few weeks ago, and am still fumbling around this site.
Here's one of my acrostics:
Ray of sunshine
After the rainfall
Instilling a bit of color in
Nature's path
Brightly decorating the sky,
Open through the heavens
Wavelengths of different hues.

Ok., I'm going to jump in here and try my hand with these forms. And if I can find the time I'll try the classes as well.

-Eric

Enunciate

Ever clearly he spoke with
Nouns of common origins.
Uttering his decisive speech.   
Never faltering, even once.
Causing such an uproar
In the hearts of the masses.
Appealing to their
Tired American souls
Even though he died for it.

~   this looks like fun Smiley


Pouring soul to parchment in
Opalescent ink, in an
Ever-glow of warmth, comes this
Moonchild dancing

To send your spirit
Rising pon the firey
Autumn voice that falls as dusk to
Imprint the burning pages of
Norm's poem train







*hugs*
