October

"October"

Only the day of my Birth
Can truly describe all I have become
The heat of my words has assisted global warming
Only that can explain how I evolved from big coats to shorts in the beginning of Autumn
Breathing God's Gift To us intoxicates my words
Effortlessly is how these words appear on the stationery of Love's Proof
Real men kiss lips both, above and below


October 8, 1975.....
written on August 8, 2015.....the power of the eight baby....lol

Only when you're writing straight from the heart do the words flow out effortlessly... You've certainly done that here, Eric. A very nice acrostic poem! Good luck in Charlotte's contest!

Seems I didn't get what you initially meant in your comment to my acrostic. Nice to see you already have this, Eric. Kim

thank you kim....I had read a few of the acrostics here but yours may have been the one to inspire me to write my own....truth be told though, I had no idea what an acrostic even though I have written hundreds of them in the past....I honestly have no clue what the different forms are....I just pour my heart onto the paper....;)
