Thank you Daniel. I know you can do single acrostics and the double is not that much more difficult.



SOME DAY YOU SEE – SNAIL PROGRESS


EYES’ AYES


Steps
of pain
make for a
end of “can I?”
despite every fall,
and with each hurtful stop
you send up a silent prayer
yearning for His help to
overcome that leg.
Using Him for
strength to see
eases
eyes

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

ACROSTIC MAGIC – TAKES SOME TIME



POOR TRAIT PORTRAIT


Art
caused a
reddish streak
on modest face
so that it now seems
there are long cuts and scars
in place through my cameo
countenance and the harm
makes one believe the
artist’s brush cut;
gashed so I,
I am
corpse

NUGGETS OF GOLD – WON’T BE LOCATED


INSANE IN SEINE



New
use to
gather in
gold and its dust
escapes when I rub
tailings through a steel sieve;
searching for dregs that I feel
others have dismissed so
finds from the skeptic
give the aura
of hope that
leaves me
drained



No corpse as of yet. Nowadays, I feel like that until I get my ine fix in the morning; caffeine and nicotine. I have a tentative list of participants in the contest whom I feel are deserving of awards. As you said, we'll discuss that tomorrow. The difficulty in this contest still persists.

What is interesting about your REMARKABLE "Nugget" is that it can serve as a metaphor for what we'll be doing over the next couple of days, discerning the GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE poems, plus the HM's! It will be a daunting task... and I hope you're doing the initial judging so we can discuss further. deLightingly, Daniel drillsergeant.gif

Daniel, how perspicacious of you to recognize the metaphor. Deciding on the awards was the impetus and inspiration for the Nugget. Straining them all through the proverbial sieve to find the gold was very difficult/impossible!

Well, we made it through, and I think everyone was reasonably satisfied... and I think folks appreciated the either 2500 or 2900 points! (Those who didn't get the 400 from the HM, I sent the full 2900, so everyone got the same).

WRITE US A DREAM – EXPECT THE BEST

FORM FARM

Write
rondeaux
if folks help
to see you have
each verse poetic.
Using descriptive thought
so participants should get
a vision shared by each
dream that you may have.
Reach out and grab
eyes with awe.
Art grows
most!

PERFECTION WAS – MERELY MY DREAM


NOTHING ADDS UP


Poem
earns me
rewards for
fame at some time;
enough for that thrill
coming briefly my way
that folks might like a new form.
I thought that the word-play
or shaped diamond
nudged a writer
with a dare
and a
sum.

FAIRY RINGS ARE – NICE MUSHROOMS



FOOD FOR THOUGHT


Fan
am I
in this arc-
rounded circle,
yet I cannot claim
rightful ownership. You
insist that they could be yours.
Nature provides so much
good things that appear
strange to us so
add this to
rich warm
eats

Daniel, thank you for your final question. It struck me as humorous and struck my muse to bring forth another double acrostic Nugget for your perusal. Enjoy!


DOES A MUSHROOM – DOPE A TIM LEARY

PSILOCYBIN SCENARIO


Dread
one who
eats the top
since it can take
a stranger through a
mind bending alternant
universe. That is where I
suspect they’ll have a dream
holding them and will
release or free
one’s aura
or fear.
My!!!
