Poetry - For Surprise Me Contest

Paintings of word-pictures we can sometimes see;

Other times, pure pathos is offered poignantly.

Elucidation can be channeled most enchantingly

Through a poet’s pen to you and me!

Raining thoughts, poets plant them carefully,

Yielding the harvest of their soul - their poetry.

Nice acrostic! My poetry professor from the New School - Anna Rabinowitz - wrote a book length acrostic where the first letters form the poem "The Darkling Thrush" by Thomas Hardy. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
