L et me tell you my dear friends

O n this very dearest moment

V arious lines came to my mind

E very time I thought them wrong

Y es I have to think them over

O ften use backspace and such

U ntil words fall in their places

A nd the end has come in sight

L eft me just one line to tell you

L aughter often cures our hearts

Nicely done in a form too often neglcted. No doubt due to the fact they are difficult.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you all so much for your sweet words.

Didn't know the name acrostic belong to this type of poetry as being Dutch of course.

Now I know that I did write many acrostic poems (for special occasions)in Dutch.
I don't find it difficult at all to do, you put the line you want to use first from top to bottem and then you only have to fill in the rest.

Thanks again my friends
