Sam Kauffman Poet Acrostic

Sagittarius

Sagittarius

Strike true the star sign of the archer hunter’s heart true north while
Arrows of artistic aspiration fly free from optimistic opportunity in
Grand views of grace to stumble over humility’s stone in blunt speech as
Inquisitive innovations turn eyes to heaven’s crystal river in the 
Thrill of effervescent infectious energy for risks of happiness and
To the trusting essence worthy of compassion’s trust where
All creatures great and small hear bubbling music’s fresh fountains while 
Ragged edges of unfinished rhapsodies, abandoned in new crusades of
Insatiable quests for authentic unexplored astral eternity,
Understand restless feet rushing in the wind - sign of fire adventures -
Searcher of the stars and soul revels in laughter and vision’s arrows

Jan Allison April 10, 2021 at 2:36 PM such a creative take on the Sagittarius theme, many congrats on your trophy win Sam:-) hugs Jan xx Sam Kauffman April 16, 2021 at 2:18 PM This was such a fun theme. Thank you Jan! The placement was a nice surprise. Take care. Hugs :)!

Charlotte Puddifoot April 10, 2021 at 12:31 PM wonderful use of language and a different angle than just merely listing the traits of the sign, well done! the poem has a headlong rushing effect when read which fits perfectly with the sign; it works well in this instance but i would just say in other pieces it might be good to slow it down with more punctuation, and also to watch for the lines getting too wordy or overcrowded..congrats on your 1st place in my contest! Sam Kauffman April 16, 2021 at 1:58 PM Hi Charlotte! Most grateful for your placement and your message along with this delightful theme! Many thanks for your thoughtful and very insightful suggestions. I have to admit I have a tendency to write long, run on lines - Dickenesque - one of my very favorite authors. Learning to write in different forms here on the soup has been a wonderful training in meaning packed brevity along with writing lyrics. Hope you are doing well. All the best!
