Mystic Rose Rose Poet Acrostic

ROSES FILLED WITH DEW

                           (While Pondering The Pavement)  

Pondering,  we walk on pavements of summer days 
Opening ourselves to the sun and its guiding rays 
Neanderthals at heart we take the same path each day   
Driven by our past we troddle on with sobering mainstay.   
Every step propels us forward, ... take time to pray   
Regardless of the outcome "belief will show the way"   
Immigrant of earth keep walking even on a rainy day 
No matter how old you are always remember to play !   
Grass  is never greener on the other side, so they say.    
                          THE 
Pavement can be slick or smooth depending on your view 
Abandon not your dreams, don't ask others what to do 
Victory is hard work but don't take more than you can chew 
Eliminate doubt and fear be brave but know your cue
Meander slowly round the curves, whistle when your blue 
East West South North, where you go is really up to you ! 
Nod to the crowd but share your thoughts only with a few     
Take a path that will lead you to the roses filled with dew.

Marikate Kingston September 4, 2026 at 8:50 PM " No matter how old you are, just remember to play" My favorite line of yours. I've got to put your poem in my journal or maybe on my fridge to remind myself to have more fun. Honestly, one way for me is to read poems on this site!😀. Yours are terrific. " Run to the sunny sand with your cool drink, Not too many, you might sink!" Now, you have motivated me!

Jay Narain October 20, 2025 at 11:24 AM Your poem charts a kind of life-journey metaphor: walking “on pavements of summer days,” opening to the sun, “driven by our past,” keeping faith, remembering to play. It encourages perseverance (“keep walking even on a rainy day”), authenticity (“Abandon not your dreams”), self-direction (“where you go is really up to you”), and hope (“Take a path that will lead you to the roses filled with dew”). The tone is uplifting, gently didactic, mixing reflection with encouragement. Mystic Rose Rose October 20, 2025 at 2:34 PM you give the best comments Jay, if there was an award for it, I'd give it to you * lol, thanks for the precious input, I appreciate it very much.
