Teddy Kimathi Poet Acrostic

Ecstasy

Emily wasn't the same person I knew back in the
City, as a silent girl in grade school. Everyone was
Shocked to see her smiling and laughing, as she 
Told us about her life in a Zen Monastery
Across a mysterious Chinese mountain.
Sad silence in her life was replaced by
Yearning for a ray of happiness.
