Lisa Ricci Poet Acrostic

Take a Ride With Me

"take a ride with me"


take a ride with me
along a clear open field
know the wonder of what you see
energize the heart the soul

and know the all of me

round the saddle round the reins
in a moment your heart I will win
dedicated always
embedded in your soul I will live

while by my side
I won't let you fall
though I will take the lead
here's toasting to you and me

moments to savor
emotions to feel

Doug Vinson February 27, 2017 at 2:43 PM I didn't even notice it was an acrostic until others mentioned it, Lisa, and that means it's really good. : ) Oh yeah, will never forget my first time on a horse. Melody was her name and she could really get after it. The sensations of height, power and speed.... Lisa Ricci February 27, 2017 at 3:41 PM Thank you once again Doug. Words can not express my appreciation for this generous review in particular by also commenting on the format. Oh thank you for sharing Melody and your experience. I have great memories of my riding days. My first horse that I rode was named Happy.

Chris Green February 27, 2017 at 8:41 AM A nicely crafted acrostic. You have captured the essence of riding a horse and just experiencing this majestic friend wonderfully. Lisa Ricci February 27, 2017 at 10:33 AM Hello Chris. Horses are majestic at that. Once again I am overwhelmed by your generosity and intake. In my mind I could never do them justice but could write of them all day.

John Michaels February 25, 2017 at 7:28 AM Nice energetic story encapsulated in the acrostic form. Something about the first stanza immediately made me think about a horse-ride, so well done on the subtle undertones. Lisa Ricci February 25, 2017 at 7:35 AM Thank you so much John for such marvelous commentary and review. The horse truly is a wonder for man and mankind.
