An Angel Among Us

A little gal from India I hope you all have met.
Nonetheless, please meet her soon if you haven’t yet!

A mother, poetess, and wife - she came to Soup one day.
Now it’s been a bit more than a year.
Growing her talent, she is here to stay,
Earning the respect of every poet peer.
Lovingly she labors to create her art.

Anitha is the name of this poetess.
Many are her attributes. She gives her heart, 
Offering kind remarks – our souls to bless.
Naturally friendly and wise is she -
Gifted, gracious, generous and good.

Unending may my bond with “Ani” be,
Sharing in the fruits of a sweet sisterhood.

Hi Andrea, this is an excellent acrostic poem of great beauty, paying tribute to the Indian girl Anitha ! I concur with your thoughts and feel proud of my fellow compatriot. She is indeed so gifted. After my entry into this site, the first poem I commented on was her poem. You are another greatly gifted one....No wonder you are a winner. Congratulations, dear !

Great Acrostic on Anitha. Ani, indeed, is a great poet. She has minute and subtle and detailed observation of nature and events. Your poem has made her eternal. Beautiful work. Congratulations!

I knew you were describing Ani before i saw her name, I have always had a soft spot for her also, am so happy Andrea that you paid her this tribute, which she so richly deserves, and who better to describe this angel than you, in your true poetic talented style. A wonderful Christmas to you and your lovely family my friend, and may all your wishes come true with the new year. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.
