acrostic plus

G rumbling won’t improve your mood
R emember to count all blessings good
O pportunities abound to appreciate
W onders around you, small and great
I nterest shown to those you love
N oticed here and up above
G od cares about heart attitude

if you find yourself doing life sol O
to meet new friends presents a goa L
pursue that hobby you never trie D
take the time to enjoy the rid E
you aren’t getting any younge R


Lillian proposes a puzzle poem so here’s an acrostic plus for dVerse poets today…

gone to seed

 

slender, elegant

aged with grace and dignity

wears white hair like crown

life’s rough edges

With precious memories of my husband’s mother, Tillie

 

languid, slowed-down flight

faded tiger swallowtail

wings frayed, summer’s end

 

aging farmwife rests

memories bound in wheelchair

mind frays as years pass

 

love sees the beauty

blond boy sings in gramma’s lap

fray with long goodbye
