Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

An Acrostic Poem

An Acrostic Poem

An acrostic poem is one in which the letters going down the poem, spell out a word.
In the following poem, I wrote about my husband, before he passed away, the bold letters at the beginning of each line spell Barry Beall. 

 

 

Barry, My Love

by Glenda Beall                          

 Better than peanut butter, he

Always makes me happy.

Routinely perks my spirits up,

Romances me with a song.

Yesterdays have been fantastic.

 

Because he's in my life

Every day holds new excitement

As we progress on a marriage that has

Lasted forty-five years and will

Last for all eternity.
