Magical Praise
Kudos to you, my sunny day,
Undying hope you send my way,
Doing what noone else can do,
Ordering wishes to come true,
Showing me pictures that are yours,
Taking me places on far shores.
Open your heart and hear my voice,
Your poems make my heart rejoice,
Often your poems speak to me,
Unknowing how the next will be,
Magical praise I give to you,
You can make chaos fade, subdue.
Sunny day, you can take a rest,
Undoubtedly you are the best,
Nobody else come even close,
Never think you are less than those,
Yes, you know who I talk about,
Do not fill up your heart with doubt.
And I must tell you at the end,
You will forever be my friend.

Author notes
This poem was written as a tribute to my friend sunny day, which I am proud to call my AP-sister. It's built like an acrostic, based on the first line. You can find sunny day's work at allpoetry.com/poets/sunny%20day ...

Hi, Roz! Yes, acrostics seemed impossible for me too, in the beginning, but I tried, and found it easier than I feared it would be. I am glad you liked this poem, you will like my other acrostics aswell.
Thanks for the comment (and the applause you dropped earlier 
). Jim

I've discovered that I love acrostic, tho I'd never heard of it before joining this site. I doubt I could do it but you do a wonderful job of it. This one's fab and it's a wicked way to pay somebody tribute too.
Roz.

Well, of course, Joyce deserves the praise. I've never known such a selfless person. And, to think, I just stumbled upon her poetry when she first started posting here. I feel privileged to know such a person, and you do her a great honor with this write! Thanks for sharing!

Jim, Back to thank you again as you show your praise by entering this into the contest. They are such catcy little poems. I love doing them. I was going to comment when the site went down, had to wait up. LOL Time to head out. Take care my friend and best wishes in the contest. Joyce

Yep, sunny day LOVED the poem. Thanks for the comment!
-
Thank you, Melpomene! Doing rhyming acrostics are not that difficult, I think anyone can do it. I believe acrostics are the best way of writing a tribute poem, because if spelling the name of the one it's for, is much more personal. And by the way, thanks for the applause!
-
aw this is a sweet acrostic,she will love it..great job
-
.... How do you work with acrostics so well! this is amazing, dare i say perfect? I think in this case this is one of the first acrostics (beside the one u entered in my contest 
) that has captured me fully, its just amazing how you word it so well and manage to minipulate the words to rhyme!!! amazing work! keep it up!
Melpomene -
And thanks for the applause, ForsakenTears! Glad you appreciated my poem...
-
Well, thank you, forsakentears! I appreciate your comment alot! I don't find making rhymes to an acrostic hard, I find it harder to make acrostics to a rhyme... LOL!

Thanks, Huntress. Yes, I chose to do an acrostic, but I feel most at home in rhyming poems, and I prefer to use rythm too. If you count the syllables, you'll see all lines have the same count. Thanks for the applause!
-
This is pretty impressive. It is hard enough to write a acrostic but you also made it rhyme. Well done
-
Yeah, she loved it... Glad you like it.
-
Thanks for the applause, buffy... What I'm into? White magic and Good enchantments, mostly, though I have a dark side aswell. You don't want to go further in that path.

Thanks, Joyce. I told you I got inspired to write a poem from hearing the meaning behind the word "kudos". I reconed that since you made a beautiful acrostic to me, I should make one for you aswell - that's only fair and square! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the applause. Jim
