Road Trip (rhyming acrostic)
Rolling down the dusty unmade road
Over the rackety bridge we rode
A slow trickle of water under it flowed
Driving on even though the road narrowed
Tranquillity not at all overshadowed
Room to breath without feeling harrowed
Inner paths stretch leading to the highroad
Places now flash by, some of them hallowed

This Is A Real Acrostic
Time and time again I have written
Here some words straight from the heart
I sit here, once again pen in hand
Slowly my thoughts turning, to write this poem
I know not yet what words appear
Some run, some drag themselves on paper
And then I see some sense they make
Reeling, tottering, rolling all around
Every word that my pen does write
Allows this poem to near it's end
Laughingly you look at it
And say, ' well he's at it again'
Challenged me, well challenge met
Right now I'm wondering I did it why?
Only thing that I can think of
Satisfaction for job well done
This has finally reached it's ending
I leave you to judge my work
Challenge has been met
Here some words straight from the heart
I sit here, once again pen in hand
Slowly my thoughts turning, to write this poem
I know not yet what words appear
Some run, some drag themselves on paper
And then I see some sense they make
Reeling, tottering, rolling all around
Every word that my pen does write
Allows this poem to near it's end
Laughingly you look at it
And say, ' well he's at it again'
Challenged me, well challenge met
Right now I'm wondering I did it why?
Only thing that I can think of
Satisfaction for job well done
This has finally reached it's ending
I leave you to judge my work
Challenge has been met

HERE I AM AGAIN
SITTING IN SOLITUDE
YEARNING FOR SOMEONE
TO HEAR ME
... TO TALK TO ME
BUT NOBODY'S THERE
NO ONE BUT MYSELF...
IN SOLITUDE
I FOUND MYSELF CRYING
IT MAKE ME THINK
OF DYING
DIE... AND END THIS GRIEVING
BUT THEN IN SOLITUDE
... I FOUND SILENCE
... I FOUND PEACE
THAT CALMS
MY WEARY SOUL...
ONLY IN SOLITUDE
... I'VE KNOWN MYSELF
ONLY IN SOLITUDE,
SO, I WON'T BE ALONE
AGAIN...

About this poem:
this poem is all about myself :)Day Dreaming Of You (acrostic)
Days spent thinking of you
Always I can see you
Your presence I can feel
Dreams while awake
Reaching out for you
Each time you slip away
Abandoned I feel and lost
Many times I smell you
It clusters around me
Now settling , and the
Good memories flood in
Onwards alone I go
Free yet never free
You are part of me
Only hidden by the veil
Until it parts I wait for you
Always I can see you
Your presence I can feel
Dreams while awake
Reaching out for you
Each time you slip away
Abandoned I feel and lost
Many times I smell you
It clusters around me
Now settling , and the
Good memories flood in
Onwards alone I go
Free yet never free
You are part of me
Only hidden by the veil
Until it parts I wait for you

About this poem:
IT WAS A 3 PART INSPIRATION - I WROTE IT SHORTLY AFTER READING "He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven" by W.B. Yeats - HENCE THE REFERENCE WHICH REMINDED ME OF MY X-GF, (WHICH I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER FOR ALL OF HER QUALITIES); AND MY LITTLE INGENUOUS SELF FOR AS THE PART 3 OF INSPIRATION (NOT TO SAY MY-ULTIMATELY-NAIVE-SELF) FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING WEN'T REALLY REALLY BAD FOR HER, AFTER A WHILE, WHICH COMFORTED ME (BUT JUST A TINY LITTLE BIT)THIS IS MY WAY TO TELL HER, WHEREVER SHE MIGHT BE NOW,THAT SHE'S A SILLY LITTLE BEE
IN HATING MEMORY TO YOU - GOOD RIDDANCE LOVE!-)
HOPE U'LL ENJOY
Write For Peace (Soulgoddess challenge-Acrostic)
Worldwide love of nature shared by all
Responsible leaders whose egos fall
Into cities let the green earth sprawl
Take the hand of all those who crawl
Energy made by every roof and wall
Foster belief in fairness for us all
Outlaw nuclear weapons in a brawl
Respect those who answer our call
Prayers when natural disasters befall
Equality for all nations in every trawl
A place for every culture at the mall
Creating goodwill by standing tall
Every voice is heard at town hall
Responsible leaders whose egos fall
Into cities let the green earth sprawl
Take the hand of all those who crawl
Energy made by every roof and wall
Foster belief in fairness for us all
Outlaw nuclear weapons in a brawl
Respect those who answer our call
Prayers when natural disasters befall
Equality for all nations in every trawl
A place for every culture at the mall
Creating goodwill by standing tall
Every voice is heard at town hall

About this poem:
Acrostic poetry style to hopefully list a few universal ideals for "Peace" which I believe really starts with 'respect' and 'equality' for everyone else in the world.What A Poet Said (Acrostic)
What is it that you write here on this page
How do you manage these words so scrambled
And sometimes people think that they make sense
These words so carelessly flung hither and tither
And yet, when ever so closer we shall look
Perhaps these words twist and twirl, a dance
Or so it seems, to some distant unheard music
Ever onwards, then upwards and outwards
Til finally they reach their final destination
So my friends, it is there I will leave you
And bid my final farewell, Adieu, adieu, adieu
I am gone, finished, concluded
Departed, left, not here
How do you manage these words so scrambled
And sometimes people think that they make sense
These words so carelessly flung hither and tither
And yet, when ever so closer we shall look
Perhaps these words twist and twirl, a dance
Or so it seems, to some distant unheard music
Ever onwards, then upwards and outwards
Til finally they reach their final destination
So my friends, it is there I will leave you
And bid my final farewell, Adieu, adieu, adieu
I am gone, finished, concluded
Departed, left, not here
