I'm posting this for Jess because she will be afk for a couple of hours....

By Jessica, for Crowe

Creator of our universe
Ruler of this domain
Out of sight but never far
Wacthing day and night,
Each move we make at Lit.Org

The technicality is flawless
He can make a sentence sing
Even though his thoughts aren't mine
A man of honor, that's his thing.
Loves to teach a hungry mind
In fact, loves his girl and cat
Exemplary traits to have
No problems with him on that
In our opinions we've a feast
So we've agreed to disagree
Till November comes, at least...

An Acrostic Poem I wrote of Charlene Ashley

Christalline sapphire eyes
Hold photographic images within
Abling beautiful artistic abilities
Revealed like innermost dreams
Limner, with linear lusters
Every paint, charcoal, or ink used
Never missing the importance of color
Exposing the brilliance of jewels

And the dance of butterflies with
Sudden arches of vivid rainbows
How grandious, the magical weave of
Lines uniting with liquids and solids
Everlasting magnificantly on canvas
Yes, this is The Artist

Laughing at foibles, including her own

Ideas flow through her like decades through time

Love is her forte, for Joseph at home

Inflammatory language her supposed crime

Appropriate, given her intimate poems!

(Okay, so this clearly isn't my forte! C'est la vie!)

Pay attention,
Everyone:
Tips for Newbies
Extend to you, too, even if you
Rock, you sage, you poet...
Perhaps Peter will return
And blog again, and write poems again.
Until he does,
Love your fellow commenter
In the same way you love yourself.
Never take for granted
Others' art.

Acroustic Thread #7
Reassuring gent with his superb wise word.
Our "Junk yard Poet" is anything BUT absurd.
Man of many collections, interests so good.
Always one to walk proud with his Elwood.
Yet he's not too proud to pass you if you're down.

A verbose and sometimes the jovial clown,
Sharp-whitted guy with an elegant speech.
He can out sing you with his accoustic reach.
Liquid voiced guitar cradled in his arms,
Eyes of warm brown reflecting his sweet charms
You're great to the end with Romay as your friend.

Acrostic Thread 8

Delighting in the joys of Lilia
I can see the true fire within
Echo's my own want for warmth
Blooming in your life
Arduous is my campaign to love
Real love as exists between you
Original feelings I miss
Nearly there but not quite
Hoping that my life is whole
Or near complete with mine own
Beautiful is the word
Saying how you two feel
Knocking on loves kingdom
Enjoying the fruits within
Wayward days are over
Weariness gone in Lilia
Artful wiccan you are
Romancing the young Joseph
Dancing with your DieBaronHobskewward

#9 - Claire
Charismatic, cheerful, a delightful chick
Lovable, loyal with a mind that's quick
Adorable, animated, a wonderful friend
Is someone on whom you can always depend
Radiant, reliable, even rogueish at times
Excellent poet, be it prose or in rhymes!

That's my Claire!

#10 Jeannie
Jesus is her life
Everyone is in her prayers--She is an
Artist with words of adulation for the Father
No one can stop her mission--because she is
Never-ceasingin her love of God-She has an
Immeasureable love for all--and she
Enlightens others with her poems of praise
and worship

Part 11 Acrostic Thread
Because there is a beauty
Exhibited in all she does
A touch and charm unequalled
That lets us feel her loving arms
Respectful of her peers
Impenetrable smiles are on her face
Caring for each person
Every touch so full of grace.

Because she lives her words
Often in the face of strife
You know you're loved by her
Lights up your very life
Everday. Everynight.

Part 12 Acrostic
Dedicated to lovely thoughts
And making all feel welcome
Relentless in her pusuit of the underdog
Every child that needs some love
Vocal in her praise and support
Always a smile, even when she's down.

Clicks on her mouse,
Jumps from a rainy day
Haiku to one soul walking alone:
Extraordinary...
Reading Carol's courageous words is
Like entering a new world.
Inevitably, no matter what,
Hope always muscles in through turmoil:
Yesterday's tears become tomorrow's victory.

Imaginative, always a pure delight
Venting in rhyme, with all his might
Occasionally pensive...his emotions freed
Reading his work is a joy indeed!

Cordial words she brings hung on angelic wings
Omniscient lyrics she owns in melodious poems
Cute Kentuckian dove enriches us with love and
Offers her grace to make Lit a warmer place.

Part # 16... Clairesbest

Can you picture... someone delicate as a flower, with dew still on the petals, glistening in the sun,
Laughing heartily, or sometimes giggling, and other times, simply grinning from ear to ear, with
Allegiance as strong as, that of the highest tensile strengthed alloy metal, times ten, gently
Instilling confidence to the novice, reassurance to the weary and kindness to all, yet showing
Resilience and fortitude, even in the face of oppression to her personal views, someone who is
Easily loved, by all that she meets, for nothing more, than being herself, yet one who can
Savor the sensual, the spiritual and the sadness, of all that life has thrown at her, then,
Because she cares, shares these openly with all who take time to read her offerings, someone
Exceedingly talented, in every form of writing she has pursued to date, and is willing to
Sacrifice valuable personal time, to perform as a staff member at our wonderful Lit.org,
Then, though she may disagree with you vehemently, will offer something good to her comment

And if you can paint all this on canvas... your picture will be... the elegant little flower, known as CLAIRESBEST, who brings joy and beauty to all, and can be found, in all her splendor, within Lit.org's Garden...

Acrostic thread, #17
Wednesday: Pa took Will to the cornfield.
I reckon they're after the crows.
Like the crows don't know they're a'comin',
Like no chronicles ain't ever been wrote...
In the meantime we look for Pa every day
And chase down his one-line insights.
Maybe Pa's been kicked by one of them
Hillbilly mules of his when the shotgun went off
In William's hands, on lit.'s front page...
Lessons from charlie in patience, wisdom, and
Love from the heartland. We learn of truth.

Acrostic Part 18

Just herself, which is always enough
Even in the face of times that are tough;
So willing to help, so willing to speak
She shines like a light on a mountain peak.
I value her as an artist and friend,
Confronting the fires with naught but a pen!
Always loved by her family, in good times and bad
No day has gone by she's not turned bad to glad.
Matt/Bart adores her, and so do I.

And this needed another line, I sigh!

#19 Lil Ole Me...the Nitz
Nutty as they come
Inherited my mother's fat cells
Tap dancing granny with a
Zest for life

Kacee is my nickname and I'm an
Idealist--dreaming how things should be
Tardiness is not in my vocabulary
Tempermental at times
Yawn....I'm just plain boring

Acrostic 20..FAIRPLAY
For all the people at Lit Org,
A fellow now his comments forge.
In helping you see light of day,
Real challenges he�ll throw your way.
Perhaps these help you write with skill,
Look at his words, maybe they will.
And when his comments are in rhyme,
You find true meaning every line.

Part 21 Acrostic Thread

Devoted to the important things in life,
A pen filled with the ink of beautiful words.
Prepared to take his stand - with tolerance, but
Really knowing what he believes and why;
Dashing, daring, darling and dear
A mirror hidden in his eyes,
Never am I afraid to look there.

Daprdan :)

Number 22
Firstly, here's the one I did earlier for Claire, as promised:
(hope you like it ;-))

Crafted poetry
Lives and breathes:
Amazing words!
Indescribable atmosphere when
Reading Claire's works:
Every single one!

Now... Beatrice:

Beauty from the soul for
Everyone to see.
A tribute to life that
Trancends mere poetry
Rhyming realities
Instilled with love,
Compassion, hope, and
Eternal truth.

(sorry... slightly odd ending - I ran out of time; gotta post it before I go :-))

Part 23 - Windchime
Woman of exquisite words.
Individually created to inspire us all.
No comparing her to others.
Delivers love as an angel, even at death's door.
Challenges poets to walk and talk the extra mile.
Has a beautiful spirit that captures her audience.
I for one, am honored she is a part of "us".
Mesmerizes us with her poetic charm.
Enlightens us with glimpses into her world.

Acrostic thread, #24
Dark username, bright poet, well read,
Intimate with Sexton and Plath, and
Extreme in how he shouts out for thread parts...
__________________________________________

Dessert is his Disposable Scenes
And its "tiny fiefdoms" metaphor.
Intense and generous in his critiques,
Listing flaws, he appraises our language,
Yields truths, astute and perceptive.

Passionate about the hard working
Effortless talent seems to be readily available
Nurturing to a floundering friend
Enigmatic to those who don't know her
Loyalty that is inexhaustible
Oh boy, does she have a mouth on her!(love that)
Perfectly frank and wonderfully honest
Editor with an amazing eye XOXO

DAPRDAN

Dan�s a man who really can,
Analyse life�s complex plan.
Personal thoughts for all to see,
Really how things ought to be.
Dan�s wisdom pours out from his soul,
And sharing this, he�s made his role�
No other closer to the �whole�.

Acrostic, Part 30
The very essence of him is the mystery,
Every word written fits like a lambskin glove
Fluctuates from the surreal to the sublime
Laughs, lashes, then licks and loves
One in kind; analyst, sadist and a gentle man;
Never imitator, but imitated, what praise!

( Posted by: clairesbest [Member] On: September 30, 2004 )

#31 - Spud
Sweet, sincere, a really nice guy
Puns flow freely, I laugh till I die
Utterly helpful if you need advice
Dear old Spud...you're our "Mr. Nice!"

Part # 32... Ivordavies...

In the short time that he has graced the halls of lit.org's poetry section,
VERY FEW indeed, are not greatly impressed with his humorous, upbeat and beautiful
Offerings. His life's insight and knowledge are freely shared through his exacting
Rhythm, rhyme, and metered poetry. His works are gleaned and added to
Darn near everyone's favorites and/or reading lists. It is for sure that,
Any time his name appears on a piece or as a comment, everyone will read it
Vehicle maintenance is his trade, but his writings are worthy of much greater praise,
If ever you doubt this, read his words, whether his intention is to teach, tell, or
Entertain, his warm humor never misses the mark, his talents are as varied, as his titles
So if you wish to enjoy a good read,
you must be sure to draw your bead,
on one of the best at Lit.orgs site,
look him up and read one tonight.

Part 33 Eleutheromaniac
Eleutheromaniac

Expresses his opinions very well
Leery of people with too much power
Excellent taste in music (I suspect)
Under the influence (of something)
Talented and brave
Hard to get a good rating from
Evil in a good way
Really cool guy
Oversees his Forum
Major pain in the ass of the overly conservative
Always comes to the table armed with facts
Never a dull or bullshit comment
I secretly love him : )
And I am secretly afraid of him : )
Comments from him are taken seriously

( Posted by: arc [Member] On: September 30, 2004 )

Part 34 - Huni
Peterpaulino asked me to post the next three for him since he didn't know when he could connect:

Huni

Hammocks old and new,
Ukuleles and seashells too.
Name it she has it in her bask�t
If not she has to come back to Lit and postit.

Part 35 - Tina
Tinalouise by Peterpaulino:

Throwing herself at life
Is my favorite thought about her.
Namaste she greets us all
A loving, spiritual expression
Learned by us when she came along.
Often generous, always kind
Ushering us to her humanity.
Inspiring commentaries to works and
Shoes! Yes, and Vienna:
Empress is this woman when with the prettiest pairs and dances!

( Posted by: clairesbest [Member] On: September 30, 2004 )

Part 36 - Alex
Peter asked me to post this acrostic he did for Londongrey:

Lyrical voice
Of this English lad
Never tired my head.
Dogamn blogs and streetlamps
Of this lovely moth
Nibbled at my heart.
Green for his sky allured me.
Resounding were his remarks, always with smileys
Everything, he�ll surely miss even the �piers�
Ya�ll had been to him, LitOgres!

Part 37 - Bartleby
inmost asked for my assistance in posting this acrostic for Bartleby:

black eyes of the voracious butterfly
ablaze again the unspotted wings of phoenix
rousing the mystical scent of ashes
tempting eyes and tempting wings
lonely red flower
emerge from dust and ambers
"brake down the story"
you said "this is not a game"

Acrostic # 38 Jessicanm
Just another writer?
Everyone knows that not the case,
Sensuality is her forte.
Sex is always on her mind ;)
If your avatar is truly you,
Could we have a better view?
Almost always has kind words to say.
Newbies treated like the elders.
Many thanks for you support.

A cross tic for tea (well, 39, actually)
Oh well... Number 39 it is. Yep, that's why I wanted number 40 - I had a cheesy pun lined up. Oh well, I can crack it anyway, can't I? ;-)

Anyway, this one is for Bartleby. (Not sure if he's been reading this thread... if not, someone give him a nudge ;-)

Burning quill:
A writer on fire!
Rare talent
Turning out gems.
Lyrical or Haiku, you're an
Esteemed poet.
Badge of honour:
You're a Lit grandmaster.
