under that letter, and then see how you can combine them so that they have valid meaning relating to the subject of the poem.

  When we first see the awesomeness of the universe, our mind is awakened to the beauty out there. This awesomeness comes when we as humans, overcome our own limitations, which surround the ability to capture images of incredible galaxies and nebulas. Here I have the awesome images that have been created, which hold secrets and details which are heavenly in their awesomeness.

  The supernovas have mysterious energy traits, which burst out in all directions. Many giant suns and galaxies glow bright above us.

  The pictures are truly inspiring in many ways. Notice my J line is seemingly out of places since it jumps topic and is only 3 words? Jupiter orbits with a determination and power as if self confident. But I finish the sentence with Jupiter knowing what kinetic energy is all about in it’s kingdom, it’s orbit, and inertia.

  You see it but it’s not there. You are seeing something that was there thousands of years ago. Night sky is where the nebula lie. The unknown darkness all unique, is everywhere, and the planets are in full harmony in smooth orbits.

  Footnote: The Cinquain

  This was fully strange to me when I first saw it. Again I have gone overboard. You will notice again that the meaning is obscure compared to one with less limitations but I love the obscurity. The thing is, when you really focus on it, it has meaning.

  The format for this one in the syllable construction, or word construction. The syllable form goes as follows:

  2, 4, 6, 8, 2

  The word form goes as follows:

  1, 2, 3, 4, 1 I have done both formats at once.

  Knowing success of the future makes it even stronger, and the essence of that knowledge you will learn won’t let you down so be thankful.

  Your gift lifts your status if based in goodness and you will gain from seeking.

  Your passion guides your choices in which you move forward. As you do this, you gain power over things that used to torment you.

  It’s what you are meant to do and as you embrace working within this design for your life, you soar above so much in life and grow strong. It strengthens your spirit and feeds you with peace and joy. And you need to always dream of the success.

  Footnote:

  Not only did I have difficulty due to using both formats, but I have rhymed the poem too.

  A, A, A, B, B,

  That’s the same for each stanza

  A problem I have with this is that t syllable words have less rhyme options, and getting 3 in a row and then 2 makes them tend to have repeated rhymes throughout.

  The main rhyme I use here is ing and er.

  You can feel the loving feeling growing to the point where you pulsate with Joy and a tingling feeling. Also it has the alternative meaning of love making which ties in well with the body pulsing. It’s a powerful effect on you.

  Again with the sharing of the experience which makes it so much more powerful. Living in each other’s company touching each other helping each other in abundance to fill your lives with goodness. It’s a team where you complete each other in a joyful connection. This can’t get any more connected that truly making love in which the world seems to not exist and it’s a dream like state.

  It’s a treasure that people all over the world are seeking. You are probably more likely to find an actual treasure of money or art or something, than you are to find true love. So if you find it, Hold onto that treasure. Sometimes the pressure against each other is sexy, or the sexual tension is under pressure. This is highly pleasurable, heavenly, and can cause you to tremble with pleasure.

  Footnote:

  I will work a lot more with the Limerick style rhyming in this format since I have exploited this sequence of rhyme to a point where it is not as original for me anymore.

  In this poem, I have both Cinquain formats, the A, A, A, B, B rhyme sequence, and I also have strived to not use the same rhyme twice through out the entire poem. I also have 4 topics, 1 for each stanza. Fauna, the sunset, the rainforest, and the crystal clear river.

  Birds sing so nature always gives us something. The cute animals soften our hearts in passionate adoration where our spirit fuses with the cute animals of nature.

  This is somewhat a suggestion to get out tonight and look up to study the sunset. It can lift your spirits and help bring hope and a blissful feeling.

  The forest, is heavenly in the brilliant green canopy that is vast and amazing. They grow so tall competing for the light, and giving us clean air to breath always. The incomprehensible vastness leaves us in dismay at trying to fathom how awesome it is.

  Picture the river white water in the mountain valley, the essence of life flowing unable to sit still. An artistic beautiful effortless skill at existing and forming the valley.

  Destiny

  Desire to succeed abounds

  Ever ready to manifest dreams

  Strong gifted soul pours forth

  Tough traits power on unrelenting

  Incredible knowledge is substantial food

  Never giving up the drive

  You can fulfil, your destiny.

  Footnote: The Acrostic

  This is a common poem and you may have seen it in primary school.

  The format for this is taking a subject and expressing it totally in 1 word. I picked Destiny since Dreams has the ability to be confused with the sleeping type. Other words like fate and such are too short. I like to aim for a long word so that it will make for a longer poem.

  I start off with poetic words which are just a formal type way of saying a line that we may say every day. Using uncommon words but in standard sentences. This increases in the middle and tails off in the end. I use food as a metaphor for feeding the soul. Then there is encouragement as a fitting ending.

  Contents

  Lovingly

  Longing for closeness closer
than possible

  Overwhelming desire to be physically one

  Vivacious countenance overflowing in abundance

  Incredibly awesome presence pulsing from the soul

  Nostalgic optimism about the future embracing

  Glowing with cravings to sensually touch

  Life climatic with ecstatic sublimeness

  Yearning whole heartedly for the cure

  Footnote:

  I think you should avoid subjects with difficult letters X, and Z. These letters can really hinder the meaning of that line so when picking your subject, be mindful of this aspect. I would also tend to choose words where there is a variety of letters. You don’t want 4 lines out of 7 starting with E.

  Again I focus on the desire to be as close as possible to each other. Vivacious countenance is a classic example of poetic tone. Uncommon words that replace a formal type expression of the meaning. You have to love the thesaurus. Nostalgic optimism is again showing this power of words. This is what I concentrate on most. I do throw in Glowing and Cure as 2 small metaphors though.

  Universal

  Under the heavens we sit

  Night reveals star bright bliss

  Inquisitive minds explore the light years

  Various images of beauty abound

  Ever increasing elegance shows

  Rivers of light beam down on us

  Sailing on the river of dreams

  All the wonders of the galaxy

  Living views which are universal

  Footnote:

  The main thing is to find unique ways of expressing a common thing. I could have had:

  Sitting outside at night.

  We see the stars.

  We think about the stars.

  Same meaning but it lacks the poetic expression.

  This is also a based in much more of a metaphorical presence. Night reveals, Rivers, Sailing, Living views. This is my favourite out of these 3. It’s elegant and a great example of a good Acrostic.

  Miscellaneous Poetry From The Past

  A Rose in Time

  The unbelievable beauty, catches your eye at a glance.

  You turn your head gracefully, to see the perfection.

  You feel the amazement building, like love at first sight.

  As you glide forwards, the grass rustles under your feet.

  A gentle breeze, coolly caresses your skin, as you reach the temptation.

  You carefully grasp under the rose, and feel the delicate petals.

  As you get closer, you pick up the faint sweet scent.

  Your body
