Acrostic Poems
A Boat Beneath A Sunny Sky
by Lewis Carroll
A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear --
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,

Lovers' Lips
by Blaine B
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips" – Percy Shelley
Soul mates.
Our connection was so pure,
Our hearts combined as if they were made for each other,
As if we were made for each other,
And when your hand
Meets mine,
That connection is only made stronger,
Your fingertips shock my skin with pure joy,
Your lips send a jolt through mine,

The Secret Garden
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
L-et the golden silence reign absolute;
U-nwelcome is noise in the house of thought.
S-o much to explore in the universe of mind,
H-ued richly with precious gems of every kind!
L-ight enters inside, so glintingly beautiful,
I-nk takes on new images and shapes, blackly.
B-ees breeze by August, seeking their honey,
R-abbits hop high grass, down in the country.
A-bove, the milky stars compel us to wonder,
R-acing toward scintillating, blazing infinity.

Acrostic
by Lewis Carroll
Little maidens, when you look
On this little story-book,
Reading with attentive eye
Its enticing history,
Never think that hours of play
Are your only HOLIDAY,
And that in a HOUSE of joy
Lessons serve but to annoy:
If in any HOUSE you find
Children of a gentle mind,

Garden Blooms
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Gardenias and roses, lilac and fragrant jasmine shruB,
Are my backyard passion, both colorful and so artfuL!
Rare shades of beauty abound, like black, and indigO.
Dahlias from peach to velvet wine, give delight alsO.
Every bold color is represented, at the gardener's whiM,
Never dull, with maroons, pinks and golds, so like sunsetS!
Spreading Happiness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Speaking only kind, constructive words about others,
Prioritizing peace among earth's sisters and brothers,
Remembering green practices, essential to our lives,
Easy as the benign habits, of honeybees in gilt hives.
Always eager to give more than likely to be received,
Devotedly loyal to a loving God, who's never deceived,
Indelibly making being good neighbors a huge priority.
Nurturing friendships helps create a friendly majority.
Generating sunny smiles, giving generously to charity.

Saturn
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
S pectacular sight, beautiful, distant and mysteriou s,
A mazing ring attraction, like colors to the nebul a,
T antalizingly close, but from golden sun far apar t,
U nchecked, wild and free, like egrets on the bayo u!
R are, unique space drifter, since the age of cance r,
N ewly probed, but scarcely understood, secrets hidde n.
Sunflower
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
S uch a golden jubilee, across the vast floral sea s,
U ndulates in waves of butterfly breezes, imprompt u-
N ourished all summer by the honeyed, lookalike su n,
F ervently worshipful groupies, to all others aloo f!
L ithe, elegant and lovely, its seeds very healthfu l,
O ne-of-a-kind, smiley faced bloom, in a meadow cond o.
W ith colors red, orange and white, as well as yello w,
E nchanting any passersby, of a singing field ablaz e,
R osy dusk skies lend added glory, to colorful grandeu r!
