Joyce Johnson Poet Acrostic

Poetry Palace

Pleasant caresses for the ear,
Offers of phrases sweet to hear,
Everyone worthy to be heard,
Telling stories word by word.
Rare INFUSIONs for our eyes,
Young and old the poets rise

Placing word bricks for palace walls
As INEVITABLE memory recalls. 
Letting inspired thoughts flow free
Artistic ILLUSION wars with CREATIVITY.
Crafters and artists competing,
EVENTUALLY in this palace meeting.

By: Joyce Johnson

For Linda-Marie's "Poetry Palace" contest.  One of the several  first places win

For some, poetry is a craft, but for you it is an art. Great entry for the contest, Joyce. Winning wishes coming your way. Hope your week with your brother is going well. Love and blessings, Carolyn
