Confidence of an Acrostic (almost, kind of, with license...maybe)…  The assurance of the precious promises in your words, and the way you use them to open a heart and fill that heart with you… Write your poetic verses, and sing them pleasing to the mind – poetry from your soul pleated and stitched to another soul: is alive when read aloud – and reread with a silent breath… Beautiful words of riches and understood with confidence, by all who decide to examine your words, stirred from first word to end… ---------------------------------------------------- [Send all complaints to the poetry commission, Hoboken, NJ].  |

Dear JL-This is awesome. I love it. Is this about someone we know? I had to ask. LOL Love-Faith There must be a poem in here somewhere. |

JL, this is an exquisite poem and a very touching tribute to the subject. I am a little confused by the acrostic part, though, and don't see it. I was looking at the first letter of each line - perhaps you were meaning elsewhere. Or perhaps you meant the sense of an acrostic - as in a deeper meaning? Owl |

I try to guess, it's not the first letter, but the first word of every line, yes? So beautiful, dear JL! Love and joy. Margherita  |

Wow! Margherita, you've got it! I didn't see it, but I do now. Why didn't I think of that? Smiles. Superb, poem as I said, JL - and a perfect acrostic! Owl |

faithmairee, It's always about someone we know... Thanks for the reply. ------------------------------------ Diamond, So nice to see you again. Thanks for reading. ------------------------------------ SA, Yeah that's why the convoluted title and the last line: ‘stirred from first word to end’ And the disclaimer at the bottom: [Send all complaints to the poetry commission, Hoboken, NJ] Just Trying to add a little humor. I thought if #1 can get away with it maybe I could too. (Had to try, ya know). Thanks for your sweet comments! --------------------------------------- Margherita, Thanks for your reply! --------------------------------------- JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Any poet would be overjoyed to claim this as their own! I don't think the complaint department will have to deal with this beautiful almost/kind of/with license/maybe acrostic... but I love the way you gave the option! LOL Thanks for the double helping of smiles! |
