Some Thanksgiving Inspired Acrostics


Sated!!!
Tales oft told
Under pressure, with such
Flair, affective as it may
Find itself to be, the deadened nerve
In which, observation etches it’s one true mark, one
Never to ignore, one overzealous to the touch, a crutch, my
Gluttony! is devoured full.

Gradations haunt the varied steps of lost
Realms newly felt, where cursive slants control the lead
And starts to blush unto, italicizing its emphasis upon the
Varied spectacles alive in
You

You
Are
My
Salvation

Salvation
Willingly permitted
Entry to the
Emphatic search for change
That’s urge had forever imprisoned you

Pour on the afterglow, with a glistening tint
Observed as tints that sparkle
Through
All
That
Overshadows the easily ignored

Postures held
Inside, where
Enigmas now freely breathe

Breathing
Enters and
Escapes
The executioners
Severed scape

Forever
Alive,
My
Internal
Light, begins with
You

Voiced
Environs
Grant
Extrinsic
Trembling.  Here, our every
Awe, speaking as if each syllable is our most primal,
Basic to the core, yet never
Limited as is found in the neophyte, where knowledge is
Elementary, broadening each of our experiences, through
Subtleties that shape the form within

Terror is the basis for those emotions
Unknown.  We shed our skin.  We begin anew. A
Reformation clearly focusing our mental
Kinship towards all those
Elating fluttering sidesteps that
You cannot attempt to comprehend.


 Well, didn't really have the time to get on board yesterday, too much going on.  But over at D'Verse a lot of great Acrostics can be found.  The link's close for new submissions, but they are immortalized for one's poetic pleasure.  I definitely recommend  you stop on by.  Hope everyone in the states had a great Thanksgiving, and for those not, I hope your Thursday was a great one.

  1. Very clever, Fred. You've got a whole smorgasbord going on here! Well done!

    (My clay is made fLesh!) That's okay!

    I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving too. Your poem certainly implies that you did. I love that you start with stuffing! As that sets a kind of humorous tone to your acrostic. k.
