This year The City of Mississauga, Canada, where I live, is celebrating its 50th birthday. Mississauga Writers Group is releasing an anthology commemorating the event - chose the unique form "Acrostic" and wrote this poem dedicating to the city and to be included in their Anthology.

I have used 16/17 syllables throughout this poem.

POEM OF THE DAY: August 13, 2024

Love the magnificent city, our peaceful, caring abode for years! Overlooking waterfront of Credit river flowing into Lake Ontario - Visually appealing beaches entertain with amazing views, Enchanting forests with tall trees protect fauna and flora around! City of flourishing culture - arts, sports encouraged with equal enthusiasm Inspiring togetherness among little children, teenagers, youth To try their best and thrive in academics, follow their passions, You will find Mississauga the safest place to live with no hesitation ! Opulent gorgeous parks and gardens for citizens to enjoy, Fabulous museums, art centres, libraries to appreciate! Mississauga has cordially welcomed the world to its cradle ~ Indigenous community left a valuable legacy, Safety of wildlife a primary focus in this vibrant city, Spreading awareness of conserving environment earnestly. Integration highly nurtured, values of diverse communities Sincerely appreciated by residents, supported and shared, Sending positive vibes - unlimited energy and soaring dreams! A city of multiculturalism wins the hearts of multitude ~ Unbelievable history of showing immense gratitude, Greatest appealing lifestyle surrounded by bountiful nature, Astounding picturesque scenery invites soulful creativity!

Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for your uplifting comment. Mississauga is a city in GTA, very close to Toronto. It is a beautiful city - we are living here for last twenty-five years, and I don't want to move anywhere else. This year we are celebrating city's 50th birthday, and Mississauga Writers Group is releasing an Anthology. I was requested to write something, I decided to write an Acrostic. I am so fortunate they loved it, and the Coordinator is donating it to the official Heritage File.

Thank you, Dear Friend. Really appreciate your heart-warming words. I was asked to write a poem on the city - it's 50 year birthday of Mississauga. I thought an Acrostic would be best. I am still editing - I edit and change vocabulary a hundred times! Thanks for dropping by!
