Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Contest : New Start

Sponsored by : Miranda Hawley

Dated : December 28, 2025

Holistic Health

Health care begins when we listen to internal signals.
Oxygen in air we inhale gives energy for body functions,
Living is then set to a rhythm by routine exercise.
Ingredients of the food we eat chosen with care,
Self-temperance is then the key to good physical shape.
Tasting with liking each wholesome bite for nutrition,
Intuitive awareness helps choose the healthy options,
Comprehended sensibly these silently nurture the whole.

Hydration in ample measure washes the body inside out.
Enthusing vigor revives through rest after tiring times,
As the inner clock aligns with the advent of the dawn,
Languishing nerves are lavishly suffused by the sunshine. 
Turning worry into prayer time offers the divine care,
Hopeful mind rests calmly poised with the trust in God.

Miranda Hawley February 3, 2026 at 7:36 PM Your approach using the acronym "Holistic Health" was a little bit different than the other entries in my contest, but it still fit in really nicely. Excellent job, and enjoy your win in my contest. Subimal Sinha-Roy February 4, 2026 at 5:14 AM Thank you so much for the placement and for your comments.

Kim Rodrigues December 28, 2025 at 7:52 PM Very nice, Subimal! I want to exercise but I have had trouble with my leg for at least a year and half. Had epidural…now sent to Orthopedic. Back in water aerobics on Monday. Truly don’t know what to do until my appointment but have to do something. Again, very nice, Subimal Sinha-Roy December 28, 2025 at 10:26 PM Thank you for your read, Kim. I'm sorry to hear that you have leg problem. I can assure you are not alone in this for there are many like me. Physiotherapists suggest excercise. For joint pain the only solution is replacement. But if it is nerves and muscle ( perpetual stiffness) then you may try gentle stretching excercise. Wish you all the best for getting well soon.
