Missing image
by Gregg Rowe

Day by day
A quiet man
Lives his life
Expects nothing in return

Gregariously outgoing
Respects diversity
Expects nothing in return
Goes on living
Outstanding citizen
Returns to university
Yearning to graduate

Reading is his passion
Or donating his time
Writing is his fortier
Expects nothing in return

    Acrostics can say so much in such a different manner than can other forms of poetry. This was interesting and I learned more about you from reading this. Liked this background as well. I'm from Alberta - Canadians need to stick together!

    An excellent acrostic. It shows the world who you are and I think it is wonderful. Sounds like your a pretty incredible guy, after reading all of these touching comments. Great write.
    I look forward to reading more of your stuff.
    God bless,
    Absinthe

    ok gregg...i've decided to sue you. i hope you have a good attorney (oops, oxymoron there). gregg rowe, i hereby charge you...nope, that's too cop like...trying again...dear mr. rowe, i regret to inform you that due to your egotistical, self-promoting poem (hehe) you are hereby being served and are ordered to report to district court 35B at 8:00 a.m. on april 7, 2010 (speedy justice...such a wonderful aspect of our judicial system) to answer charges. mzliz will be asking for damages in the amount of $3.25 for damages and mental anguish.

    hang on...damn...
    1. you're canadian...think you're immune when it comes to egotistical excess (hehe again)
    2. i'd have a hard time proving mental anguish...they'd cite pre-existing conditions
    3. i dislike lawyers and would not actively seek one out
    4. dang it, even if you're as conceited as hell...it's all true!
    nevermind...guess i'll have to win the lottery instead.

    will you still love me...even if i call you and egocentric, narcissistic genius? no? guess i'll have to retract then (last grin...at least in this comment)

I want to rush over and just give you a and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Aimée

    *D*aring to live
    *A*lone and fight
    *L*eaving
    *E*vil behind him

    *G*igantic heart
    *R*eleasing his love
    *E*verywhere he goes
    *G*oing out of his way
    *O*nly to show he cares
    *R*egardless of who you are
    *Y*ou'll be touched by him.

    *R*elish his pure heart
    *O*r learn from his works
    *W*riting is his passion, he
    *E*xpresses truth in his words.
