Miranda Hawley Poet Acrostic

PETUNIA

P-Pertty pink or purple flowers,
E-Enrich the patio they hang from.
T-Teanquilize the space they occupy.
U-Unadulterated by outside chaos.
N-Nesting their glory inside each basket.
I-Illuminating space with effortless beauty.
A-Acclaiming praises to the God of life.

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2025 at 7:02 PM Cute one. Was it a challenge? What is teanquilize? Miranda Hawley October 8, 2025 at 8:06 PM Teanquilize? Is a spelling mistake that I will be fixing soon. This was not a contest. I was on vacation with one of my friends a school teacher to be exact and I asked her for a writing idea. She gave me Petunia as the topic. I saw in an instant an acrotic. It should be tranquilized.

Valsa George August 17, 2025 at 5:42 AM Petunias are so colorful. They adorn the patios of houses. In hanging baskets, 'nesting their glory', they feast every eye. Beautiful acrostic, dear Miranda. Miranda Hawley August 18, 2025 at 8:09 AM Thank you!

Rowena Velasco August 6, 2025 at 7:23 AM Lovely acrostic, Miranda! Each line paints such a peaceful image—especially love “nesting their glory” and “acclaiming praises.” You’ve captured the quiet grace of petunias so well. Feels like a little garden prayer! Miranda Hawley August 18, 2025 at 8:09 AM Thank you!
