my 1st...actually..my ONLY Acrostic ..for a contest ~ an acrostic of our name ...hmmm

J uxtaposed, thoughts and emotions caught up in snap crosswinds, tickle my pen

E longated shadows loom over beautiful broken down walls, of the oddest stone

N uances of time and place cling to damp hopes on sticky pages, which smell like someone I loved once

N ew tears wet crumpled poems, and children’s cheeks

I never cared for short days, black licorice, or the way my jeans fit

Forever has grown thick wildflowers without names,

E ssences of answered prayers, and favorite songs

R etrospect has become my thesis and my bliss

Beautiful thoughts.......amongst sadness comes retrospect of life and love........and writing.

this is absolutely wonderful. not that it is only acrostic, it has such a deep meaning and I love it, what a great way in life.

This is such a wonderful Acrostic! Good luck on the contest.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

I may be wrong, but my reflections on this piece suggested a wonderful review of past experiences and emotions.

A beautifully composed, self analytical perspective of a blessed life,
and poetically acrostic as a bonus!

Good fortune with the contest.

God�s Blessing

It seems as though you too are guilty of being a writer of the heart.

You are truly one of the best artists on here :)
