An Adjuration From Azure Skies

A Azure heavens charged with God’s delight N nestle fine-spun ‘round the radiant sun. A Adjuring men to look up outdoors - D directing hungry eyes towards blue skies, J just for a few moments every day. U Utopian azure blues can defuse R restless moods and cantankerous minds. A Azure laced with white clouds, a pleasant sight T to behold and laud the Lord’s glory. I Insights adjure praise as you fix your gaze O on the divine splendor of nature; N now, let peace and tranquility increase. an acrostic of alternating 9-10 syllable lines with internal and end rhyme for the even lines.

thank you, Constance, I enjoy form based poetry and will try my hand at anything new. Have done many acrostics but used the internal rhyme on this one which was fun. I appreciate the honor of a third place.

thanks, Andrea, maybe a little wordy; but words can soothe the savage beast in us all. Hope you are having the Merriest of Christmases 2021-style.
