John Lawless Poet Acrostic

Ecstasy

ECSTASY 

Ecclesiastical euphoria 
Cavorting openly - unadorned
Satisfactions saviored glee
Testifying, swaying in the dance of
Actualized beliefs
Spiritualized in
Yearning

Paul Callus July 3, 2016 at 10:06 AM A different take on this theme, John...a spiritual/religious ecstasy, never experienced it in person, but have seen it documented on film. Full marks for its content and uniqueness. // paul

Eileen Manassian July 1, 2016 at 12:38 AM Interesting write, John. Sometime that euphoria in the ecclesiastical realm leads to mayhem and chaos....Great write. Thanks for your comment on my poem. It isn't for the contest, but I posted a response though I'm not sure I quite got the gist of your comment. John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 7:59 PM "the muse" always tends to evade being placed in a box by the contest titles and suggestions. I consider "interesting" a very positive response to poetry. thanks for your continued support Eileen, always appreciated.

Constance La France June 30, 2016 at 11:16 PM John, a unique and nice write ... I like it John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 8:37 AM yeah, ecstasy is defined as a religious frenzy or trancelike state. So I took that road.

Janice Canerdy June 29, 2016 at 12:37 PM A 7 for this very fitting response to the prompt--so descriptive. Janice John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 8:35 AM Thanks Janice I wasn't too sure how this take on ecstasy would be received.

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2016 at 8:22 PM oh YES< this I have seen portrayed in movies. They don't get this way in the church I was brought up in What a unique approach!! Not a topic I'd probably ever be caught doing but I appreciate its message. John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 8:35 AM one of the definitions of Ecstasy - an emotional or religious frenzy or trancelike state. And the muse was off and writing

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2016 at 8:20 PM thanks for the sweet remark on my Cynosure poem. I hope you know that is a fantasy man I invented through time, a combination of a few old flames I used to have!! Now let me see this Ecstasy poem. One I fear may fill up before I can think of something cool to do!! John Lawless July 1, 2016 at 8:32 AM Andrea, you have probably figured out that "all men are a fantasy". sorry so late with responding my son got married over the weekend.
