To rid the body of cancer’s nasty stuff, they pump it full of even nastier stuff…
Giving new insight into the expression, “Pick your poison.”

Because life can turn you
Upside down and
Inside out, leading you astray
Learn to build bridges
Don’t delay

Poetry challenge: Acrostic poem.
From the lonely “I”sland of emotion flowing from deep within
Ever bubbling upward”N”eath all the confusion wondering where it has been .
Desperately trying to “S”pring forth joyfully into the light of day.
Pushing through layers of “P”ain, as a bulb bursting through the soil of clay.

Acrostic poem.

One Lone Tree
Losing those you love, leave holes in your heart.
Open, bleeding, wounded hearts that don’ t want to start.
New tragic emotions shredding injured souls.
Every thought and feeling like searing, burning coals.

Poetry challenge: Acrostic poem

November is the month of Jacarandas in Australia.
Joy of spring in
Aussie land
Cantata in D major
Across the landscape
Radiant purple
Adorns the
New vision of the world
Days of bliss and harmony ahead
As we reach out to each other with respect

Acrostic
Acrostic the challenge
Crafting words that are mine
Re-using each letter
On the start of each line
Simply find all the words
That will fit to the rhyme
It’s not very hard
Come on, try it some time!

Extend your soul from its deepest self
Meeting sorrow while not fearing pain
Place your feet in their shoes of sadness,
Accepting tears as moments of emotional rain

And contemplating it on the green grass
There came to me a silly thought …
