Philosophy of a Name

Willows bow in windswept
Yielding, ever bending
Never breaking under pressure.
Eternally searching
Turning inward finding faith in
Truth of self in beauty or ugliness.
Ever focus on the best in you.

Author notes

If I bend, I never break.  If I face myself exactly as I am, I am free to be all I can be.  If I dwell on the best parts of you, I encourage you to grow stronger and be your best as well.

    Thanks so much. I really enjoy this type of writing. For some reason, in most cases, I find it gives me not only a base topic but a little guidance by having the letters of the word to follow. Sometimes I even slip these acrostic type forms into contests without calling them acrostic just to see if anyone catches it . Sometimes no one notices, which gives me the feeling of having gotten away with something

    And you as well. Actually the words from willows to yeilding are a single thought in my head, but I was thinking of leaving out the on entirely and letting yeilding be sort of a thought on its own. The complete thought was --in windswept yielding-- as if windswept describes the yielding. Most of us don't yield if it isnt forced on us somehow LoL. I will probably sleep on it and see how it looks to me tomorrow.

    Thanks for the comments.

    as any good tree will tell you, bend in the wind and you will grow stronger so that the next wind will need to blow harder to make you bend, only thing I would change here is the word in in the first line make it willows bow when windswept, nice to meet you wynette
