Monocrostic (Birthday of Alyn Estosata)
Touching my face.
Ordering champagne.
You slide off your vow from your finger.
Delighted under your light,
Amazing to see you shining
Yes, I am grateful to see the
Stars, the souls of our lost ones
Touching us with tenderness~
Above, where we all will bright
Replete with the searched love
T - hank you is all we can say
H - ow can we ever repay
A - mentor, a parent, a friend like you
N - ever tiring to guide us through
K - indness, compassion, your love so true
Y - ou're such a blessing
O - ne of a million things
U - nselfish, loving and so amazing
T - ouching our lives, you always care
E - ach patience you bear
A - ll the lessons you share
C - oaching us to be at our best
H - elping us to pass each test
E - mbedded within are lessons to ponder
R - embering and grateful will be these learners
S - uch a teacher like you worth more than a treasure
Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

THANK FULL-
Touching my spiritual heart
Having been redeemed and set apart
Always remorseful for my sins
Never forgetting where I've been
Keeping close my forgiveness in full
Fully aware that I am yours, O so yours alone Oh, God
United in remembering where I've been
Leting go and let God have full reign

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
H ow many amongst us thrive on compassion
U nderstanding the plight of neglected brethren?
M others oppressed, children abused, while most
A ccept this dire reality as a part of life's equation:
N umb are we, harsh as modern conduct...
I nstead, let's care for others, ease their pain
T ouching lovingly oh souls lashed by barbs of night:
Y ou and I can share this grace... an act, humane.

John hamilton's Humanity-Acrostic Contest
E-very eighteenth January morn
S-hadows of the night fade;
P-reparing to let the sun
E-nlighten the world God made.
R-oad ahead is bright crimson
A-s the future is promising;
N-ew dawn will shine zealously,
A-fter the break of morning.
H-appy birthday to you
I-s all I want to convey;
P-ure delight is all I wish for
O-n this memorable day.
L-et the Lord turn your worried mind
I-nto an optimistic thinking;
T-ouching your heart and soul,
O-rdinary ode here is what I'm offering.
F allen as a ripe fruit that falls to the soil
R iped in perfect timing with the sunlight
A rising lively with promises of new seeds
G lowing vividly with a crystalline splendor
I nstilling a feeling that exudes a pure love
L ocking a frequency that only hearts knoe
E nticing a second opportunity to love again
H ealing all the old scars that once torn
E ndowing the force to walk with security
A llowing the flow of life through the veins
R eassuring that fears are part of the past
T ouching sky with a thought of the beloved
S umerging in sensations never felt before

Beguiling, appealing... building
Ripe for nibbling, sucking... controlling
Each breath, gasp... ordering inner core
Answer, body obeying... heat climbing from
Tormenting, teasing... bringing to unbearable
Heights... anticipating the low whimper
Touching moistness... watching eyes that
Ask, beg, command more... moaning lips
Kiss, hardness seeking... sliding
Incites, stretching, throbbing... intense rhythm
Nothing held back, giving... breathlessly
Giving, releasing all... to each other
Written 3-9-2016
Autumn colors of gold and orange
Uninhibited by the emerald charms
Touching hearts with amazing ease
Uniting minds who long to please
Miracles floating through the sky
Nurturing feelings that simply pass by
Starlight
S ee it winking
T winkling, dazzling
A ura filling the sky
R ays and beams shining
L ighting all the heavens
I nferno of gases and flames
G iving birth to new life
H eating us with your silvery light
T ouching our hearts with your mysteries
