Jay Narain Poet Acrostic

Agility

Arms outstretched, she glides like whispered air, 
Gossamer dreams sewn in each silent spin. 
In her stillness, storms of feeling flare, 
Lilting through Tchaikovsky's aching hymn. 
Ivory wings, her body bends, then flies, 
Tears in the toes, yet poise in every part— 
Yearning swan, both prisoner and art.

An acrostic on boy:

Born with wonder in his bright, bold eyes,
Over hills he dreams to run and rise,
Yearning for truth beneath open skies.

Rowena Velasco July 29, 2025 at 4:38 AM Wow, both of these are so well written! I really love the graceful vibe in Agility—you can totally feel the emotion and movement. And the acrostic for 'boy' is short but really touching. That last line especially hit home. Beautiful work!

Andrea Dietrich May 2, 2025 at 11:56 PM Wow. You came up with two!

Mystic Rose Rose May 2, 2025 at 7:32 PM May you always find open skies and truth as you write about it, gl in the contest
