myrataal’s poems

Majestic is talent and love unfurled,
Yesterday’s dreams that she pens on a page.
Random musings that she gifts to the world,
An African Queen in a modern age.
Timeless her art, that will outlive us all
And so are her poems that reach deep inside.
Astounding verses we love to recall,
Lasting forever, cannot be denied.
Sappho incarnate, poet of wonder,
Passion of life that is birthed from her quill.
O how her poems have the pow’r of thunder.
Editor, poetess, lending a thrill.
Myra we love you for sending us dreams,
Securely fastened to written moonbeams.

    This is a stunning tribute from one great poet to another. Don't think I've ever seen an acrostic/sonnet before. This is great!!

    Thank you so much, Amera ...

    for this wondrous gift from a truly lovely soul, so young yet wise, and a Poetry Marvel, our own Amera.

    I love you. Please never forget this. I love you and all of our poets on Allpoetry, and for that matter: I love this entire world with its Creator and his creation. How can I not sing of that love?



    All the best, beautiful Friend.
    Myra

    What a wonderful sonnet/acrostic. The acrostic part is so subtle....very nice! I have read some of Myra's work and everything I have read has been so very good. Now I will have to make sure and read more! Hmmm...so many people read your poems Amera that I think her page may recieve a flash flood of readers! Pam

      Acrostic poetry is when a word or message is written vertically using the first letter of each line, usually the title of the poem.

    This is a wonderful tribute to a beautiful and talented lady. Myra has wit, wisdom, passion, sensitivity and great humour; her poems have more variety than anyone that I have read.
    I like acrostic sonnets, this one is grand. Good luck!

    Some write Acrostics with little thought but to place a word that fits the title .
    Others like you take the title and perform a serenade of rhyming rhythm Excellent A tribute to a poet i have yet to come across Perhaps i will find time to wander over and view
    Excellent

    This is a bit of a thrill seeker sensation of an acrostic, and came across this outide the contest, and I have much appreciation for the poetess myrataal, she's the Bizz. Well done, nice job.

    for yee are my cubbie of sharp fangs
    who gives us all such exquisite poetry pangs.

    love ya,



    Dad

    A wonderful tribute to one of AP's very finest poets.

    and a deliciously subtle acrostic to go with it.

    Superb

    Jeff
