Majestic Lighthouses

A lighthouse stands proudly Throwing light at all angles Looking like it stood forever Taking in all the elements Beautiful is the lighthouse Majestic is its glorious form Perfectly serene when all lit up Timeless when there’s light Living within the heart of it The lighthouse carries no fear For it has withstood everything That has been thrown at it It’s an honor to behold one Deep within its prime years Watching for the nightfall And keeping sailors away Beauty, fascinating and breathtaking Many that see are in awe Lighthouses are still sovereign And the light within still shines Russell Sivey

Yes, I love lighthouses too, my friend. Beautiful write. We have a 'retired' lighthouse here in Plymouth - it was deconstructed and rebuilt on land as a tourist attraction

Enjoyed your lighthouse verse this evening, Russell..love the old lighthouses on the eastern seaboard..wonder if any were lost in the hurricaine. Many are national historic sites. Blessings, Gwendolen

And beautiful is your free verse, I love lighthouses, there is something haunting about them, Russell, dear heart, thanks for reading my poem "Stream" actually it is not an Acrostic although I know it looks like one, it is called Name, it is on this site's list of forms and in the case of my poem, I made it also a personification without actually realizing it so I am calling it Name/Personification. thank you so much for commenting on my poetry, I so appreciate that~~
