Suthern Soul’s Sings
An acrostic

Some say her words don’t mean too much
Unlike them I know her true touch
Truth flows within, and then spills out
Hope fills my soul; I’m without doubt
East or west she lights my way
Righting the wrongs that cloud the day
No lies from her pen do fall

Suthern’s words answer hope’s call

Somehow her words chase away night
Out of darkness she brings hope's light
Understanding truth, her words my soul kiss
Laughingly she denies my assertion of this

Suthern your writing shines all through
In and out of time I feel the touch of you
Never do the words fail to reach me
Gifting me with wonder that flows eternally
Soft and loving I feel your light shining bright

Suthern your soul sings with truth's pure light

Marsha

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Who says her words don't mean much?
Who?  Let me at 'em!   I want to know
who's maligning our Ruthie...

Ah, sweet lady... Your friendship is gift enough... and then you give me this... I thank you so much.

It's beauty comes from your talent... the sincerity comes from your heart... I appreciate both greatly. *S*

Marsha, our Suthern lady is one of the nicest and sweetest people I've ever known. I love her poetry because I know that it comes from her heart. Ruth is a very kind and compassionate lady.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Marsha.
Hugs to both you and Ruth

Her words mean so very much
she has a gentle, loving touch
when her heart is opened to you
her words and deeds shall all ring true.

Lovely rite Mushy. I particularly liked the way you spelled all the words correctly.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Beloved one, how unkind is that, gentle poets, this is all because when I was stitching the cushion for Suthern I’d mis-spelled something and had to un-pick it and do it all again. However as Suthern can attest to, I finished it and sent it off and there wasn’t anything wrong with it. (Well, a few wonky stitches but that’s all), for all those who don’t know what wonky is, ask Margie girl, she knows my wonky work and has to straighten it up in the past.

Beloved Keth, you are only jealous because you didn’t write it right. Although if you had it would have been a beautiful right write, right?

Everyone else thank you for reading and appreciating the wonder that is Suthern

And Suthern darling one

I wub you
wots and wots


Love you always
and forever
Mushy


Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

What a neat acrostic! I've only ever done one of them, maybe I should have another go.
