All praises due to the one most high
Looking down from heaven in the sky
Like the ocean's surge, tears fill my eye
All praise is due, yes all praise is due..
Power to give and take life astonishes I
Raises sun of early morn. as seconds fly
Almighty, thanks for the gifts I cry
I, feel another's burdened weight and sigh
Silently weep, as the world goes bye
Each one should teach one, at least try
Hope you feel it too, hope you feel it too
I give honor and praises to the most high
Secure that his light shines on me til I die
All praise is due, yes all praise is due...
Author notes
Right out the box, i gotta say..THIS IS NOT A CORRECTLY PENNED PIECE OF FORM POETRY
at least not in that at first it was 'meant' to pay homage to my friend 'awannabeapoet, and of course a loud SHOUTOUT to the form QUEEN(l.o.l. 
Amera) but as i went on I decided that it was bogging me down trying to STRICTLY conform to the form, SOOOOOOOOOO...l.o.l. let's just say it WAS an attempt abhorted and that instead it's 'loosely' based on a MONOTETRA..l.o.l. 
P.S. yes, i decided to also make an ACROSTIC in mid thought, to sorta kinda make up for the 'sidestepping' i did with the original form!!!1 sorry!
Please tell me what you think

Very enjoyable write and after reading see you were attributing to two souls who are extra special to me...I like your form poetry of a fashion, as I am no expert...but acknowledge the refrains here and it being a monotreta....Bravo!
-
Bravo!
one word okay maybe two I love it okay three words but you know what I'm sayin
this is a very up lifting piece I keep forgetting that when you write its always from the heart and this poem brought it all back to why i started reading your amazing poems.

thank you

Failing one form found you another to better represent your needs. Form is only good if it fits the poets requirements. The content of the poem is beautiful . Inspiring and poetic. Good use of alliteration. Very nice!
-
-
aaww..
my sweetest heart..you move me, yeah i agree when i started this i was trying to 'stick' to the program.. but the instant it felt forced..i ABANDONED IT.. and that's reflected in the final product, sio yes i agree with u completely lady..
thanks a ton!

May the good lord

Acrostic Monotetra Energy~
Excellent Swan ~

L.O.L.
you know what's funny about you saying that? it's exactly what i thought when i was finished..i was like..hhmmmm..i don't there is such a thing as a hybrid acrostic-montetra, established yet..l.o.l. THEN I STOPPED DREAMING AND BEING POMPOUS..and decided to own up to the fact that i just wasn't disciplined enough to see the actual 'form' piece to the end.. thank you my sweet friend, i appreciate you always!
-
-
Beautiful penning! I think it is true to you! Amazing words! Thank you for sharing!
-

Faithful Words ........
the words are from you heart; I can feel them
even with out the proper form this is raw & beautiful
because it's real. I see the acrostic verses, yet you
let it pour out....in Praise & Piety....amen.....this would
make a wonderful gospel song....I know because I play piano
and I love music.......I could hear a melody as I read...write ON!
novy

wow

-
-
Thanks GG
Always a pleasure when you visit..
-
-
truly writing from your heart makes you go with the moment.. and that shows in this. to go midway and decide to make it an acrostic... that seems a tough thing to do.
-
-
aaww..
the first part of your pen name truly suits you lady! thank you so so much!
-
-
a wonderfully penned write none the less and yes... amera is the form queen now isn't she
-

Thanks!
of course she is..but i'm appreciative of you're throwing me a bone! l.o.l.
-
-
I, feel another's burdened weight and sigh
Silently weep, as the world goes bye
Each one should teach one, at least try
these particular lines stood out for me...in my personal life as well as that from a poets standpoint. awesome pen...i really enjoyed reading babe...
-
-
thank you
i'm very pleased you liked this, and of course that you always manage to squeeze lil ole me in on your reading daily..I'M TRULY HONORED BABY..
-
-
My friend never apologize for stepping outside the box all us GREAT poets do it thats what makes us GREAT () I am sure that having produced such a fine Acrostic you will be forgiven
Excellent
-
-
aahh..
yes my friend, you're right as always, but i only meant it in the sense that i really tried to 'stick to the plan' for once! l.o.l. but yeah.. i hope all is forgiven..l.o.l. thanks for always being there for me my brother! appreciate you..
