Poem title: Devil's Lies
Quote: "You are lovable beyond your imagination"

Richard Lamoureux

R everence for God above all.
I nspired by everyone and everything around him.
C aring of others and their feelings.
H umble and content within himself.
A rtistic and creative.
D ependable and insightful.

L oving others as himself.
A lways yearning to learn more.
M otivated by spiritual joy.
O utgoing and giving of his time and himself.
U nderstanding of what true happiness is.
R eaping rewards from family and friends.
E quality for all is of great importance to him.
U nity of mind, body and soul.
X 's and O's for all!

When I read that this was going to be an acrostic, I was curious how you were going to do that tricky X line ... but you pulled it off with great creativity. Richard is all the things you describe and more ... a fantastic poet as well as human being.

Amazing, Connie! Your Acrostic about Richard seems to fit him so well based what I have gathered from his poetry. The form was a great way to go to present his nice qualities. I am sure he'll love this, and it should place high in the contest! All the best, Hugs, Sandra

This made me smile, Connie. Aptly describes our friend based on his writes. Oddly, with the many materials, I am stumped for this contest...:-) All the best! hugs!

I was too until I decided to write my poem in acrostic form. I went to my fave's where I had some of his poems listed which made it much easier to choose from one of his poems. Thank you Kim. Hugs, Connie
