Len Gasun Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Thailand

T-he haven of beauty with its brightest tree- flowers strewn in bloom,

H-ailing as masterpiece in one’s heart overwhelmed in deep admiration;

A-pril and May are chanting in triumphs claiming their grandest season,

I-n kaleidoscopic colors arching a warmest welcome to every nation.

L-et your tarried gaze saunters for a while, 

A-nd inhale the most scrumptious fragrance in squiggled file;

N-uzzle on their petals as you close your eyes,  

D-ream a dream that is never elusive in your life.

Poet Destroyer A April 27, 2014 at 11:00 AM Good morning, afternoon, my sweet, sweet sister.... I miss you, thank you for the surprise visit. Much love and enjoyment. This is one of the best acrostic out there. A beautiful, painting of Thailand, a dream place. I imagine, to fall in love with such a place. You describe her, with much peace & serenity. The visions of Thailand, I have, are what you find in movies. I like the way you expressed the opening letter T. A haven of beauty with its brightest tree. In a way I feel, as if you were describing yourself. So beautiful... Love reading a new one from you my BFF.... always and forever. sis, and bff...
