I marvel at how the brain loves constraints. It can be difficult find the words when they can be ANY word. A limiting factor such as counting syllables or an initial letter is so helpful. Incidentally, my son wrote an acrostic for my birthday with gems like "Abstains from sinning (mostly of the time)" and "Ingenious at thinking of new meals." 🤣 Long live the acrostic!
There is a book of acrostics that I love called African Acrostics: A Word in Edgeways. It is full of great examples of the versatility of the acrostic form. You’d probably love it!
So pleased to meet the two of you! Words have power and poetry offers a balm to soul and spirit. I look forward to reading more of your work . Have a wonderful Friday!
Fire
For it is into the furnace
I must go, to meet my
Redeemed soul, because I am a mere
Echo of that which He made whole.

Happy nourishment for all
On any day of the day we are given
Pass the sides of wisdom
Enough for all to grow in the taking of …….
