Mastery of skill; a poet’s amazing quill
All forward all efforts become her will
Reverberates, vibrates, each truth- a crowning glory
Gateways of her path become her grace - ever still
Ask or answered each task becomes her oratory
Remembered this day for her genuine joy she instills
Each joy to wear; to bear through her path – her gateway
Today & always a joyous beginning her soul - does fill

No feeble attempt!
Your verse has illuminated gateways to seeing Margaret's character, free spirit and tenacity. I loved these seven words:
"Gateways of her path become her grace".
Lee, thank you for your loved contribution.
Ron.

I'd never particularly connected oratory with poetory. But a rhyming acrostic is hard to do.

Hello Keith
thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment; communication in its many forms and design are often considered oratory yet, I wrote this piece and no where in it do I see the word or words... poetory... perhaps I am not the only person who needs glasses.
Have a joyous Holiday season

Oh dear - another poem that is an agony to try to read (I hope Margaret's eyes are better than mine!) And it is a pity that you could not say everything you wanted to in the poem itself - instead of having to use the "Author's notes" box. I realize that the acrostic form limited you in length.. and on this celebratory occasion, I suppose I should not carp... But I really do prefer poems to be self-sufficient and self-contained.

Hello Vera
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment Margaret is a very special friend I'm sure she understands my additional comments made in author's notes which are about her great spirit - else why even bother having AN = Author's notes. As I desperately need new glasses I am careful not to create a background that is not compliant to the eyes; perhaps a vestment in new glasses as well for your eyes would be a wise option.
Wishing you and yours a joyous Holiday Season. -

This contest is for Margaret
Not for Vera. I loved this page!
And Margaret said this entry has words that "are always a joyous beginning".
Take heart, dear one, take heart.

A spirit dictating what the heart feels, is never feeble. I enjoyed this.

Dear Myst, thank you for these lovely thoughts. My path is marked with gateways as you say, where I stop and evaluate whether to divert or enter. I am thankful that each gate has a guide to help me choose well. Your words "always a joyous beginning" are a wonderful attitude to carry on this road of discovery.
Thank you for this lovely entry.
