The pain from the death of a loved one never goes away; we just learn how to live without them.

Healing Acrostic Poem After Loved One's Death

Happiness is my veil,
Emptiness in my heart.
Always carrying you within me,
Like you never left my side.

Happiness is my veil,
Emptiness in my heart.
Always carrying you within me,

It never seems to fade away,
Not even for a minute.
Goodbye is not forever.

Spring is known as the season of life. Nature gets back its color in this splendid season. Spring had been the heart of imagination for thousands of poets and artists since hundreds of years, and truly the exquisite beauty of spring has inspired me to write this short acrostic poem.

Sing the birds; the season has come.
Prettiest look nature does hold.

Idyllic her beauty, pretty as gold.

Nature Speaks
- By Dionie B. Fernandez
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2019 with permission of the Author.
I love nature. As I marvel at its beauty, I am reminded of my responsibility to care for it.

Nature Acrostic Poem

in Environment Poems

Nature paints the waters blue and the mountains green,
As the music of swaying trees and roaming beasts reign.
Touching human hearts in breathtakingly amazing scenes.
Under the blue sky, God's unconditional love is evidently seen.

Nature paints the waters blue and the mountains green,
As the music of swaying trees and roaming beasts reign.
Touching human hearts in breathtakingly amazing scenes.
Under the blue sky, God's unconditional love is evidently seen.
Rivers of teeming fish, lands of abundant fruits and grains,
Engulfed by a pair of Mother Earth's caring hands, our haven.

Storms, quakes, climate change and other ecological villains,
Pilfered and plundered the nature's wealth and magnificence.
Envious hearts and ambitious minds have also brought change,
Afflicting Mother Earth in every technological advancement.
Keep an eye; take heed that something is wrong with our planet,
Start with a promise to care for Mother Earth before it's too late!

I have always had a love for history of any kind. This poem reflects on a few of the great poets in history and some of the poetry styles they used.

Acrostic Poem About Famous Poets

This is to all the great Master Poets of art,
Having the skills, the words, and the smarts.
Emotions you've captured, the thoughts you provoked.

This is to all the great Master Poets of art,
Having the skills, the words, and the smarts.
Emotions you've captured, the thoughts you provoked.

Pouring your heart out with pen in your hand,
Orchestrating your words like no one can.
Elizabeth Browning, Dickinson, Shakespeare, and Poe,
Twain and Frost - these great ones you know.
Reflecting on their works, which have brought us to tears.
Yes, yearning for more, we felt all their fears.

Masterfully crafted their words - they can fool,
Artist on paper, their pen is their tool.
Strategy playing with rhythm and rhymes,
Touching our hearts and enriching our minds.
Experts and masters, their poems live on.
Reflecting on your memory now that you're gone.
So, thanks for your poetry. I leave with this thought, "How do I Love Thee?"

Interconnection Of Souls And Poetry
- By Beryl L Edmonds

To me, poetry means interconnection of souls. Those who read and those who write share the mysteries, beauty, and the sorrows of life.

Interconnection Acrostic Poem

in Creative Poems

Inspiration comes from all kinds of things
Nature in bloom of her blossoming Spring
The wondrous feeling of a first romance
Excited yet scared of taking the chance

Inspiration comes from all kinds of things
Nature in bloom of her blossoming Spring
The wondrous feeling of a first romance
Excited yet scared of taking the chance
Red roses for love, violets of blue
Charm of pretty buttercups' yellow hue
Ochre moon and twinkling celestial stars
Never cease to inspire creative arts
Nothing's quite like a tranquil azure sea
Ebbing and flowing so elegantly
Creatures of earth and below ocean wide
Tweeting birds, honeybees, and butterflies
Icicles that dangle like chandelier
Ornating the trees when winter is here
Now you see what poetry means to me.

Lessons From A Father Acrostic Poem

Rest easy, fly high, until we meet again, I've never say goodbye, I'll just say "until then."

It is an Acrostic poem that spells out FAMILY. I'm a shy person who doesn't like talking to people much, or simply put, I'm usually lonely and emotional too. But my sister and my parents still do love me for the person I am and encourage me any way possible. So in this poem, I wanted to show and prove to others that no matter what happens, the only people who'll always love you is your family. They are an irreplaceable existence.

OFFERING peace, love and one day soon a touch to show
TRUTH is what you always taught; sometimes it is hard to swallow.
HEAVEN is now your home, somewhere over the rainbow.
EXCEEDING my selfish wants, Mama I live in your shadow.
REALITY is here to stay as I scream your name on my pillow.

MISSING you Mama, I sometimes get lost in sorrow.
YOUR voice, your smile and loving ways are something that pierces my soul as I bellow.

FRIENDSHIP is what I miss the most.
REGAINING my confidence to carry on.

Brother Acrostic Poem

Back in the day when we were young,
Risking our necks on some great adventure,

Back in the day when we were young,
Risking our necks on some great adventure,
Others would mock our idea of fun,
Telling tall tales or hiding Gran's dentures.
Hungry bellies fueled our ambition.
Each of us choosing a professional path,
Receiving awards and peer recognition.
Sibling rivals we may be, but we're always game for a laugh.

What Poetry Mean To Me: Encouragement

This is an acrostic poem about what poetry mean to me. Poetry means everything to me, but it is mostly my source of encouragement when my whole life turns upside down.

Encouragement Acrostic Poem

in Acrostic Poems

Each day you've proven to be my source of peace,
Never judging me, giving me room to breathe as I
Carefully try to form the perfect rhyme.
Over and over, trying to get it right,

Each day you've proven to be my source of peace,
Never judging me, giving me room to breathe as I
Carefully try to form the perfect rhyme.
Over and over, trying to get it right,
Understanding that practice is perfection,
Releasing me from the burden I carry.
Angst become happiness, pains become experience,
Giving me a medium to make my words beautiful.
Everyone doesn't understand why you are
My source of bliss, my companion.
Every day praying you'll wash my pains away,
Namelessly forming a perfect bond, hoping
That one day the world will understand.

Acrostic Poem About Finding The One

in Falling in Love Poems

I set forth the hand upon you

Holding tight to all that's near
Alerting my heart to tremors

I set forth the hand upon you

Holding tight to all that's near
Alerting my heart to tremors
Vast rhythms drawn from fear
Every inch of covered skin

Freedom for which it calls
Only us as passion strikes
United as here we fall
Nothing compares the feeling
Drenched in your kiss of soft

Together, alone, undone
Hovered so slightly aloft
Everything spins out in color

Outcast from others abide
No one will understand this
Eternal lovers' pride.
