Lekker Contest

L ooking good she thinks, looking slim
E yeing the glow that's coming from within 
K nowing that all eyes will be upon her
K neeling at the altar will be LEKKER
E very person will have eyes that stream
R econstructed legs has allowed this dream

D oesn't know when pain will ease
R emarked on the baskets of doves for release
E yes now misted over Tad must be my guide
A t the stroke of 12 ,my husband will be at my side
M aking me for sure the happiest bride

Ah ha, now I know what an acoustic poem is. I would have felt silly looking it up now that it's so obvious. I wasn't going to look at this, not knowing the form, but glad I did. I learned something. I was actually going to write one of these the other day lol, glad I stuck to free verse and learned what the style is first. Now my thankfulness is a duality like everything else I see lol, one for sharing this wonderful poem, the other for inadvertently teaching me something.
