Suzanne Delaney Poet Acrostic

October

October

Opal is supposed to be my birthstone
Crazy but I don’t own one
The scales,  my zodiac sign
Oh Yes! I am supposed to be well
Balanced and on the surface I 
Exhibit a calm manner but 
Really?  on the cusp of Scorpio?

Timothy Hicks February 14, 2016 at 9:11 PM Introspective and sentimental. My sign is Leo the Lion, which although I think is cool, I consider myself more timid than fierce. Haha. I see a little tinge of your sarcastic nature in this. Cool poem.

Kevin Fairbrother November 7, 2015 at 7:04 PM G'day Suz, what a meaningful verse says alot but contains a mystery of the women who wrote it, cheers Kev Kevin Fairbrother November 7, 2015 at 7:06 PM Belated birthday wishes as well, hope you had a great and wonderful time on your holiday Kev

Connie Marcum Wong September 17, 2015 at 2:58 AM It does make a difference Suz. I have three little Scorpios and they all have inventive minds. I would say your creativity comes from both Libra and Scorpio! I enjoyed this!

Janice Canerdy September 12, 2015 at 10:06 PM Well done! Janice

Viv Wigley August 26, 2015 at 8:42 PM Works beautifully, and love the last line. Great Acrostic, Suzanne, from a Capricorn (sign of the grouchy drunk) Viv x Suzanne Delaney August 27, 2015 at 1:12 PM Hi ViV: Nice to hear from you. I have had my brother in town and staying here. No time to be introspective ha ha, I can't imagine you being grouchy or drunk...lol SuZ

Mary Rotman August 24, 2015 at 8:49 PM I usually HATE this form but this one is so smooth and connected you scarcely notice it. I could never pull it off. Great job! Suzanne Delaney August 27, 2015 at 1:13 PM Thanks Mary: I appreciate your thoughtful comments. Back atcha soon. SuZ

Debbie Duncan August 12, 2015 at 3:38 PM I'm Libra too, Oct 7th. Have about six opals. I also have a set of scales. I like the way you worded this. :) Suzanne Delaney August 27, 2015 at 1:15 PM Thanks Debbie: Amazing. I can often tell weight and time without clocks or scales. I come from an opal hearted country so it is internal and eternal for me. Love, SuZ

Emile Pinet August 9, 2015 at 11:28 AM Your poem is clever, descriptive, and imaginative. Well done. Emile. Suzanne Delaney August 27, 2015 at 1:18 PM Thankyou Emile.......always appreciated. Will have time to come to your work and read soon. SuZ

Andrea Dietrich August 9, 2015 at 10:44 AM I like how you went with humor!! So ARE you calm and mellow? I am! Libra is my "ascending" zodiac sign. I am mainly Virgo/Taurus! Suzanne Delaney August 27, 2015 at 1:19 PM Hi Andrea: Forgive this late response. Yes I am logical and methodical. My Chinese Birth year is the Ox. Hope all is well. Love, SuZ
