An acrostic challenge set by Great Aunt Astri, the word love being the header letters!

Linger not, or choose to ignore

One that needs a helping hand

Venerated will be and more

Every one who helps their brother from the sinking sand!

I tried writing acrostics but I never found them to be easy. :(

I agree with your sentiments here, Tom. I believe love is best shown by helping others in need. "venerated" is a really apt word and I admire you for having chosen that to describe someone who shows a noble deed of love, no matter how simple.

Looking forward to reading more poems of yours, Tom. I visit your profile every now and then but you haven't written new ones as of late. That's why I keep digging your old ones. ;) Have a great day ahead!

Noble thoughts coming wrapped in just the right words by a lovely, poetic soul. An acrostic that embodies love in ways superior to conventional romantic love. So I say, best acrostic ever! Thanks Tom...

[Tom]

I went back to GAA's challenge and copied my version there. Here's mine, Tom:

L etting one's heart feel
O h such a magical feeling
V alue each others' acts
E nough to say that you really love...


I love your version, Tom. Brotherly love...helping hand...respected. Nice idea.

[Tom]

Thanks dhaye, yes I like your version it is very compassionate and well scribed, at first I thought GAA challenge was to simple task but it actually is quite a tricky little thing to write!

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

That's right, Tom. You're welcome.
