Line Gauthier Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

I Am

L ynn is how my name’s pronounced
I ntegrity and imagination the ideals
N otably nostalgic on occasion
E clectic maybe even a little eccentric

M otivated by a playful muse
O pen-minded at times obstinate
N o fancy pseudo nom de plume
I ntolerant to painful platitudes
Q uality time ideally by a fireplace
U nbridled passion for photography
E mbrace uplifting peaceful views

G rateful a constant state of mind
A rt aficionado to the core
U nconventional and proud of it
T echnologically challenged tenderfoot
H appy hibernating in cozy hideouts
I nfatuated with the infinite and all that’s zen
E nergetic when it comes to writing poetry
R acing to the finish line to leave a legacy

It is very nice to get to know you better. It was very clever to make your entry an Acrostic. Congratulations on your wonderful second placement! Blessings xxoo Line Gauthier May 30, 2020 at 2:14 PM Thanks, Connie. Most appreciated.

God bless you and congratulations on your win :) Line Gauthier May 26, 2020 at 9:37 PM Thank you so much, Aditi. Most appreciated.

John Watt May 26, 2020 at 1:39 AM Line, I love how you laid this out as an acrostic of your name. I can relate to many of your traits, especially technologically challenged and notably nostalgic. You gave a nicely balanced view of yourself and what is important to you, and it's nice to know you a little better from it ~ John Line Gauthier May 26, 2020 at 6:56 AM Thanks, John. Much appreciated.
