FROM A TO Z

Letters tumble into words from this writer's mind.

Some come as smooth as a spring brook waterfall,

Others sear my brain as they graze by so closely."

From A to Z

A ll of them meaning something and then again nothing,

B ut we understand the meaning of each one don't we,

C ollectively sometimes they can be so confusing,

D eciding what another is truly saying very daunting,

E specially when the deepness seems shallow in content,

F ollowed by the brilliance of just plain old speak,

G reat words spilling in different directions hard to follow,

H ow does this amaze me as I read so many friends works,

I  will never forget the lovely expressions which have graced my eyes,

J ust to hold them briefly has honored my existence,

K indred poets embracing each others thoughts so gently,

L oving what they didn't write yet still feeling a part,

M y dreams becoming part of theirs and theirs mine,

N o questions asked and really none that matter,

O pen minds melding into another in joyous acceptance,

P leased at the wonder that one's adverbs evoked,

Q uantity living only in the stretch of imagination,

R ivals created somewhere in a corner of the brain,

S o sad those who don't even try to understand,

T o live and let live the one tried and true answer,

U ndulating wishes stroke a thought and sometimes better,

V isions that never end and others fading quietly,

W onders of inspiration that can keep this poet from sleeping,

X a least used letter which seems so very lonely,

Y our love the very thing that flies this burning spirit,

Z orro marks this spot Z where I end this lengthy piece.

(hoping you have enjoyed this acrostic alphabetic adventure within my imagination)
