Sandra Haight Poet Acrostic

Summertime Relaxation

Sitting on this outdoor rocking chair

Umbrella overhead- and shading me

Mirrored in the lake, the verdant hill

Means summer opened up with ultra

Ease! As ducklings paddle circumflex

Rippling sounds of water bring siesta

Time, as chimes sway to softly chant

In sheer peaceful bliss, eyes closed,I

Muse the cold of winter- months ago

Enjoying now my gift of summer sun

Andrea Dietrich June 10, 2026 at 11:45 PM Great example of difficult acrostic. I know I have done this type but don't know where to find it since they all are labeled as acrostic and I have so many !

Beata Agustin June 5, 2020 at 1:52 AM Wow! Congrats. I'm delighted to be exposed to your summer time relaxation. God bless you.

Connie Marcum Wong June 3, 2020 at 3:28 PM You wrote with such ease that it doesn't even sound like an acrostic Sandra. Congratulations on your deserving top placement! Blessings xxoo

John Watt May 25, 2020 at 1:26 AM Sandra, how you did this is beyond me, writing a charming ode to summer ease while adhering to the double acrostic rules AND making your right side so straight! Awesome job on this, you should go 'straight' to the top with this ~ John
