Take the name of a person you love, hate, like, or who you just want to tell something and write a poem for that person, starting the lines with the letters of the name.
My own muse and inspiration
And my saviour and foundation
Reached out and rebuilt my heart
Gave me back, what fell apart
Only you is what I need
To be whole, to be complete
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Well, okay, I'm not a massive fan of acrostic poems. They seem to be a bit of a cop-out, but nevertheless, here's one I wrote for Aria, a while ago:
A
Really
Intelligent
And
Kind
Individual
Teasing and
Tempting
Ever beautiful and
Naturally charming:
A.R.I.A.K.I.T.T.E.N
Love your writing forever
Always an inspiration
You amaze and blow me away
Liquid gold comes from your pen
As fluid as a hummingbird hovering a rose.
Precious heart
Always so loving
Up from the heavens
Looped around my heart
Uplifting my head to you
Softly kissing your lips.
For an old friend of mine...
Distant
Aloof
Wonderous
Number one chicka
Sigh, miss you buddy...
A true lover of words
Never disappoints if you read anything he writes
Dog lover extraordinare
You are beautifully brilliant
Now can you see me
After all is said and done
Monopoly on my heart
Everytime I come online
Lest you forgot
Everything I ever said to you
Still haunting me
Slowly shifting one atom at a time.
Fabulous writer
Richly loved
Often helping a friend in need
Greatly appreciated
Plethora of knowledge of many things
Really generous heart
Irreplacable
Never unkind
Captivates his readers
Exceptional friend
My heart forever and ever
You beautiful sweet boy
Kisses on your forehead
In my heart you'll never leave
Two eyes of bright green
That bring so much love to me
You will never know just how precious you are to me.
Most lovely girl
Of purest heart
Lover of words
Light in the dark
You are pure beauty.
My sweet friend
Always has a kind word,
Ready to share her love,
Gorgeous heart
Of purest gold
That shines.
To the sun
On the moon
My love is fair
My heart is true
Ya know it isnt for you
Love of my life
A ninja in the night
My love is true for you
Only you are the one for me
Nobody else holds the key
Tell me that you love me too
Just the one for me
A guy that is so sweet
You are my everything
Running for time to time
Earn smiles of every kind
Being the girl that people love
So much love she can give
Curious, the inquistive frog is.
Appreciative of the friends he has.
Loving of all those who care.
Earn glance or a fair hello where ever she goes
Nice and quiet is what she is the most
True to whoever she meets
A girl that can always be trusted
Not once has she done someone wrong
Graceful person that can kick ass
Love, live, and laugh she says
Every now and then she falls
Don't worry she gets back up
Fair as people come
Always there for you
The sun that always shines
Every lasting girl.
Once upon a time
Not too long ago
Every day we would chat,
Where did those days go?
Over the past year things changed
Ranging from the probable to impossible.
Doing what we can to survive.
*
Is it too late to go back?
Are we to stay on this dark path?
Might we find another way?
Home isnt the destination anymore.
Every step is a difficult choice.
Ready to forge a new path?
Ever a chance to find it, do it.
