Oh, lovely old oak
Always there for me
Keep your branches stretched
To welcome me when
Running, I reach you
Envelope me in your
Embrace true and safe
♥

ALLOW THEM TO TAKE FAILURE NOT AS A MEASURE OF THEIR WORTH, BUT AS A CHANCE FOR A NEW START.
But watch out for the squirrels. They throw acorns at your head, as I’ve found out to my cost.
HA 😉 I have several squirrels in my yard that frolic and play but they have never lobbed anything at me!
Angel oak…all the oaks here are one trunk wonders.
Lovely verse too.
I have fun with acrostics too. My friend says I invented a repeating acrostic form I call… acrosTics – here is one:
This one actually repeats two words. 🙂

Very cool. I just visited your page to check it out 🙂
I had the Bogger site for longer verse before I created a long verse site at WP. I did a whole month of acrostic Elfje…at gemstones…March 2013.
Elfje are fun five line 11 word poems.
No rush to visit. Just thought you’d like to know.
I will definitely take a look sounds interesting 🙂
I also wrote a poem on the Angel Oak – it is spectacular

Oh, I remember it is wonderful and does this beauty much more justice. I just needed an oak to go with my little acrostic exercise so thought I would feature this magical tree.
Melanie you did wonderfully! leave off the comma’s next time they’re notused in acrostic but you made ths exactly to the instruction and filled it with marvelous creativity!
Oh, I didn’t know about the comments. Thank you so much for telling me. Glad you liked my first effort. I noticed this was lesson #2 so I’m going to go look for #1. 🙂
Quite lovely and very creative. Nice work.
Thank you 🙂
