My Acrostic Poems

A Sampling of my Acrostic Poems I have used as examples for their own poetry.


READING
Reality
Enticed by
Adventure that is
Dangerous, delightful and
Imaginative
Needs no
Gimmicks


NATURE
Nurturing life
Awakening
Tender shoots
Unique creations
Renewing Life
Enjoyable


CHRIST
Cares for
Humans
Rose from the grave
Is willing to stand for us
Saves us from our sins
True son of God

FORGIVE
Follow your heart
Open it up
Remember who forgave you
Give back with love
Ignore the urge to lash out with
Venomous statements

LAUGHING
Lean back
And open
Up your mouth
Gasp for air
Hold your sides
Include your friends
Near and far in
Giggles galore
Enjoy the freedom you will feel

CATS
Creeping up on silent feet
Attacking everything it meets.
Total love in fluffy fur
Satisfying gentle purrs.


WRITING
Working to create
Reading that
Inspires
Teaches, and creates
Images that need
Nothing but
Great open minds.


HATE
Hurtful words
Angry thoughts
Tear a hole in
Every heart

Students
Silly
Timid
Understanding
Doing
Everything to
Never Compromise
Their right to
Steer their own life course.

BOOKS
Bringing us
Out of this world to
Other places that
Keep our minds
Soaring into the world of imagination.
