Acrostics poetry thread

[Gertabelle]

An acrostic is where you use the letters of a word to write a poem. Each letter of the word becomes the first letter of each line of the poem. (see below)

The next poster uses the last word of the previous poster as the acrostic for their poem. For example:

AUTUMN

All the leaves have fallen
Under the trees,
Til the wind blows them
Up into the air.
Mostly, they crunch under foot.
Now there are none to be FOUND.

The next poster would write an acrostic using the word "found."

Well, let's play!!!

Hi Gertie -- I'm in like Flynn. I just hope I have the talent to make a good poem.

FOUND

Forget yourself, remember others.
Open your heart to those around you.
Understand that Jesus loves everyone very much.
Nothing else is as important as love.
Don't place your trust in anyone but JESUS!!!

JESUS

Journey to Jerusalem
Exquisite love
Sanctifying sacrifice
Uplifted
Salvation for SINNERS.

Shall I go to confession today or not?
I don't really want to tell anyone what I have done wrong.
Nobody needs to know my faults but Jesus anyway.
Not even my most intimate friends and family.
Everyone is a sinner, nobody gets away scott free.
Relief, however, always comes when I admit my mistakes to a Priest.

Pray when in church,
Rest in the Lord's Peace,
In all thing, trust God's plan,
Even when it is difficult,
So you can finish the race
To enjoy God's perfect love.

Thanks JFT, you gave me a fairly easy one.

Love consists in trying to care about others.
Open your heart to everyone around you.
Value what they have to say.
Even when you don't understand them, God is still their Father.

You're welcomed, Irish Kathy.

Father knows best,
After all due consideration,
Then acts accordingly.
He gives us what we need,
Even if it seems incongruous,
Rather than what we selfishly want.

WANT

What the world needs now is love, sweet love.
Helping others is one way of doing this.
Nobody got anywhere by being selfish all the time.
Today is the day to truely do something beautiful for God, like Mother Theresa.

Sorry, second line is the wrong letter, so I'll pick it up again:

We've all got a hole in our soul.
Ain't nothin we can do to make it whole.
Nagging, gnawing desire.
That's why He died---to take us higher.

This one's for Irish Kathy (if she still be out there).

Manna was sent from on high,
Owing to their weakness,
To sustain them in the desert, and
Help strengthen them to resist any and all
Evil that they'd meet when wandering
Round in the heat.

To get them through, they'd
Have to stand strong. But,
Evil followed them all
'Round on their jouney. The Devil's
Envy poured out
Sin's poison on them, and
All who sinned were punished by God.

It may not be in the company of Wordsworth or Longfellow, but at least I gave it the old college try. And, I also kept it simple for you, Irish Kathy.

Hi, Irish Kathy. Are you still out there?

God may propose and man dispose
Of many thing in this world, but we humans must
Do things in conjunction with faith.

Some where there tread an angle of mercy, some how

We find the state of fright, is there hope for yesterday or can the time`s be shorter

Against the space we run from.

Now there is a golden thought that font`s

take away, fly my beautiful partner and let us catch that feather you leave



some day`s are finding us knee, not too benign, the life you gave, have mercy on the blind of heart, we try to beat with thee, we try to fly as walking would serve,
Angle of justice, wisdom restore, wisdom has touched, wisdom has . .

Oh no, sorry. Got confused!

You are here for a reason - remember it son.

Accept them and learn whatever you can
