lencio-sunchild (Acrostic)

lencio-sunchild

Lencio-sunchild, a poet like few,
Everyday he is writing anew.
Never a bad word for any to say,
Commenting poems each night and each day.
India's mightiest poet is he,
Open his poems and read, you will see.
-
Sit back and relax, and he'll show you all,
Uncanny imagery he can recall.
Nobody ever I've met on the net
Comes close enough even, to be any threat.
His choices of words in his poetry,
Is wonderful done, that you must agree.
Lencio-sunchild, my friend, I thank you,
Dearest your friendship, to me it is true.

    Hi, Lencio! Yes, it's been too long since we spoke, I've been little online lately since I work now. I am glad you still come back to read this, and still give me applause for it! Ole and Monica is doing fine. She is now studying masters degree in English, and hope to be a professor one day. Jim

    Pretty Polly! Pretty Polly. "Trilled" (bird seed) - ok, ok, I am being really horrible this morning - but you should know my weird sense of humour by now!

    Thanks for the critique and your applause, Storic. I've used some of your suggestions. Writing acrostics are not difficult at all, it get's a bit tougher when you add rhyme, rythm, or other rules... But give normal acrostic a try first, and you will see it's not hard to write at all!

    Dear Jim,

    For yet another time you have made me speechless by your thoughtfulness, and I dont know what to say. Thank you so very much for making a poem in my honor. You make me very glad. I will always be here on AP and this will too. I am glad we share a lot thru this wonderful site that makes life so nice.

    Thank you once again and God Bless!!!

    Love and light,
    Lencio

    good one

    Now this is a good Acrostic - er I think - 'cos this type of poem is new terrority to me.

    I really liked this one, BUT, a couple of things to bring to your attention - only 'cos it's a competition poem.

    "I ndias' mightiest poet is he,2 - inverted comma after 's'.

    "U ncanny imagery he can recall." - missed out 'e' in imagery.

    "I s wonderfully done, that you must agree." I think this should be "wonderfully" not "Wonderful"

    Having been pedantic - and not meaning to be - I think this is a clever Acrostic and wish I could manage a sucessful poem like this.

    Thanks for sharing and I think this is deserving of an applause at least.
