Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

John Watt

Jokes he delivers us on Fun Monoku Mondays.
”October Skies,” he wrote just when starting college -
His gift to loving grandparents which garnered him much praise.
Noble is John’s soul, and his mind is filled with knowledge.

With Knock-Knock jokes – don’t reply “John Who?”
Ask instead “John What?”
To which the answer sounds the same as his name: “John Watt?”
Thanks too to John’s short name, with this poem I now am through!

Gershon Wolf January 14, 2021 at 5:38 PM Terrific acrostic about a terrific fellow... An axiom in life: It takes a first-class person to recognize another one. Kudos to both of you! Happiness and Joy, Gershon

Sara Kendrick January 10, 2021 at 1:28 PM Good character traits you have described in this character study of John. His name is not ringing a bell. "October Sky" the movie rings true to me. Reads like a good contender to me. Your acknowledgement of my winner with congrats is encouraging. Sara

Anitha Jayasankar January 10, 2021 at 2:13 AM This is a lovely tribute to John Watt Andrea...though I haven't read many of John Watt's poems, I am aware of the Monday monokus he writes. I agree, 'Noble is his soul', as I still remember he is one of those few, who welcomed me to Soup. My best wishes to you in this contest. Hugs ~ Ani
