FROM A TO Z
Letters tumble into words from this writer's mind.
Some come as smooth as a spring brook waterfall,
Others sear my brain as they graze by so closely."
From A to Z
A ll of them meaning something and then again nothing,
B ut we understand the meaning of each one don't we,
C ollectively sometimes they can be so confusing,
D eciding what another is truly saying very daunting,
E specially when the deepness seems shallow in content,
F ollowed by the brilliance of just plain old speak,
G reat words spilling in different directions hard to follow,
H ow does this amaze me as I read so many friends works,
I will never forget the lovely expressions which have graced my eyes,
J ust to hold them briefly has honored my existence,
K indred poets embracing each others thoughts so gently,
L oving what they didn't write yet still feeling a part,
M y dreams becoming part of theirs and theirs mine,
N o questions asked and really none that matter,
O pen minds melding into another in joyous acceptance,
P leased at the wonder that one's adverbs evoked,
Q uantity living only in the stretch of imagination,
R ivals created somewhere in a corner of the brain,
S o sad those who don't even try to understand,
T o live and let live the one tried and true answer,
U ndulating wishes stroke a thought and sometimes better,
V isions that never end and others fading quietly,
W onders of inspiration that can keep this poet from sleeping,
X a least used letter which seems so very lonely,
Y our love the very thing that flies this burning spirit,
Z orro marks this spot Z where I end this lengthy piece.
(hoping you have enjoyed this acrostic alphabetic adventure within my imagination)
