Touching the brush fragile inpermanent lift to begin
He stares conjuring while canvas white awaits his
Eyes focus seeing the horizon offered smiling tears

Purest cobalt blue not enough swirls mixing blending
Adds hues subtle a touch in seeking the perfection
Intuition inspires he lives within create the moment
New and all revealing driven to externalize colors
Treading touch emotions compelled near blind to see
Every moment transfixed to breathe life from hope to
Reproduce in color his within a heart only to give


"Each and every day, I time the waiting wind..."

Very very well done...you have a real talent for this style!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Thank you all your comments kind
Hours writing Acrostic style bitten
And overtaken with the form
Now I find it overrides me near
Killing any poems not so inclined


You see trapped within I
Ought to try something new
Undertake something halfway normal

Oh he of the many pens (Helen you have no idea) trapped in Acrostic land
