You are a Rainbow Arc You are the colors of the rainbow arcs Of dreamer’s vision long in his persuit Upon the white beams of the highest star Are halo wishes imitating you Rest on the opal threads from beaming moon Enchant the nightime sky with colored ring And stars will never let you say adieu Reds and greens and yellows they will keep All the raidiant dreams I’m reaching to In rainbow arcs to heavens are a sign Night time sky in garden hues will bloom Before another rainbow day goes by Once night sky bids the dark a last hurrah When day and night remember who you are And sun invades the nightimes misty spa Relax on golden strings from heaven afar Come fill me with the colors of your heart Sorry some of the words are out of alignment. I don't know how to fix it Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-07-2001).] |

Rainbows are ribbons Of light fantastic Tied to the rain Before and after Bows in the morning Before Bows in the evening After |

This was such a treasure to read. I love the double acrostic my friend and that is something I have yet been able to do so I commend you on a superb creation not only in accomplishing this but in making the poem itself so lovely. I may be able to help with the alignment if you wish for me to try. |

Took me awhile, I'm slow, to find the 'double' of the acrostic but I finally had my 'mind' open far enough. Enjoyed the read. Don't think I would try such a feat as this. Well done! |

Leave it to me - I started the second from the bottom: 'traehymnopug..." etc until I realized I should read it down not up LOL. Liz - this is fabulous - my hat is off to you - I know how difficult these are |

Liz, you must have a number of hearts strung up by now for you collect them without trying, mine included. Shine on you rainbow arc you. Keth Btw Cerenity an acrostic spells a word/phrase with the first letter reading down, a double acrostic has first and last letter words  Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Oh Liz, this is beautiful. I can't do a singular acrostic, much less a double one. But you make it seem so easy. Wonderful work. |

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. It made the effort worth while . And Mark, I sure could use the help. I tried to edit it, but some of those words just want to fly down to the next line. It would be so much easier to see the ending acrostic. THank you all so much LIz THank you, sweet Toe for the poem [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-07-2001).] |
