Listen to poem:

Dance

Misunderstood
It's so easy to be.
Silence is often the great enemy 
Under-current of emotion
Nurses our enmity 
Dear friends,
Equip yourselves with
Resolve.. to this misnomer 
Solve
Tread lightly in the wordy world
Open the heart with kindness
Only let love be unfurled
Determine to dance delicately

That picture and that poem reminds me of silent one! Wow! So good! I love how you’ve written this acrostic! Especially “ silence is often the great enemy” “ open the heart with kindness” i have a special place in my heart for kind souls and yess costs nothing to be kind. That last line is brilliant! Alliterations so beautiful and seamless: great message delivered here sam! Loved this fave

I've been a misunderstood metaphor all my life.... In fact my book is called it... great acrostic.
