She’s known here as “Stormie” and loved by all.
The love she gives is beyond the call.
Open spirited, good, warm and kind.
Rare blend of talent, heart and mind.
Mending hearts, her loving spirit shows
In spite of her own life’s troubles and woes.
Everyone loves her, much more than she knows.

You know, I have always loved this type of verse. I sometimes find myself doing this in my head about special people in my life. I really should take a moment and write them down. This is a wonderful tribute and I am going to take some time to read her work.

delightful little piece. i'm just now pulling out a large tome that's going to explain to me what an acrostic is.
... reading ...
ahhhh, very interesting. so the first "tip of the verse" spells out either the alphabet or a name. and here we have "stormie".
says here that the oldest extant examples of acrostic verse are seven babylonian texts dating from ca. 1000BC. woosh, this curious. there are several types of acrostics:
1) normal acrostic ... (this poem here) where the first letter of each line isused
2) double acrostic ... where the first and last letter of each line is used (that would have to be difficult)
3) mesostich ... when the first letter after the ceasura is used in each line
4) telestich ... when only the last letter of each line is used
5) triple acrostic ... when first, middle (see 4) and last letter of each line is used
truly an interesting idea. in each case above, so a double acrostic spells out a word along the left and another word along the right. the tripple a word along the left, then a word along the middle, and a word along the right. wonder if anyone knows an example of an english tripple acrostic, i'd love to have a gander one. -

Hi! Great poem, gives me a really good feeling of the character it describes. I think I know some people like that. It just has an aura of love and emotion... so hard to captivate. Good one!
