Alluring silence
Blankets the dark
Cobbles sorrows
Dreams dancing
Endless and slow
Frail minds glow
Greet I the night
Heavenly angels
In midst a prince
Jocundly winking
Kissing the wind
Laughter echoes
Mantle of ghosts
Now shrouds me
Opens my soul
Peeks into heart
Questions being
Respite not there
Still I continue
To where, unsure
Understand me
Vainly night tries
World escapes me
Xenial to the night
Yesterday passes
Zero hour begins

That makes me want to stop what I’m doing and write a poem using the alphabet. Really good.
oh wowie 😀 thanks Victoria 😀 glad u liked the poem..!

Wow! This is simply amazing, Leo!!!!! Wonderfully done!

i wonder how you manage to write a poem for A-Z 🙄
kisi din try maarna padega 😐
thanks Meghu 🙂 glad you loved it.. try maaro, shayad goal mil jaye.. 😀
Beautiful(:
thank u very much, Robin 🙂
Thank you so much for nominating me .. Thats an honor indeed for a learner like me !
About your poem .. I loved reading it. No doubt about it .. But at places i think it was forced. Happens when you have such rule to go by (A-Z acro !). So i ignore it 🙂
It was a pleasure read 🙂
Going to attempt it soon 🙂
welcome, Nimue 🙂 glad you loved the poem.. it was forced I think, only in the X and the Z 😛 not many words..! 😀
naah .. i liked those .. what i did not like was the co relation of Q and R 😛
oh.. those weren’t forced, Nimue.. 🙂
Opens my soul
Peeks into heart
Questions being
“being” meant as “existence”
Respite not there
to show there is no break from questions 🙂
The picture is amazing and the way you have written is awesome too.
The layout seems like it was a complicated task – I like that.
Shot for sharing,
Peace,
thanks very much, Jeffery (or not ;)) glad you liked the presentation 😀
Wow, I can’t believe you made it through the alphabet so beautifully! Amazing job!
thanks very much, ADK Writer 🙂
I’m gonna put it simply…you got mad poetic skills!
😀 merci, Annie 😀 glad u loved it..!
The theme of love and loss, vulnerability and humanity are interspersed so cadence like in unraveling the picture to the reader. Moving, Simply moving.
Thanks,
JP
thanks very much, JP 🙂 glad you liked the unraveling picture.. happy Rally 🙂
Wow, an acrostic.
They are not an easy form to work with and you did a great job with this
thanks Richard! 🙂 glad u liked the acrostic.. happy Rally! 😀
Writing acrostic one day is my obsession.
I envy you for doing it very, very, well. 🙂
thanks very much, Dhitzunako 😀 try try acrostic writing … u might get it spot on!
Great job, nice flow, hard to do with acrostic A to Z
thanks very much, Mystic 🙂 glad u liked the poem!
This is a beautiful writing and I love the picture. It reminds of a place I used to live in Louisville, KY where gas lamps still lined the street. Very similar.
🙂 thanks very much Woih.. glad you liked the nuance, and the image 😀
wow this is an impressive piece, leo! you did it again. congrats on your well-deserved award.
Two Years Ago…
thanks very much, Pink Lady 😀 glad you liked the AZ acrostic 😀
this is more than acrostic- this is word gymnastics and how did you do that! gee..
thanks FiveLoaf 🙂 glad you liked the AZ acrostic 😀 word gymnastics, huh? 😉 thank u thank u 😀
I did not notice this until i read the comment,
super outstanding indeed…
way to go.
hope you well…
ignore the awards notice, they could distract at times for more seasoned poets…I simply don’t want you to feel left out.
Thanks!
feel good,
get well,
u rock!
you think so too, Ji? 😉 I never knew I was good at gymnastics of any kind 😀 glad you liked the poem, again..
the award notices aren’t a distraction, Ji.. I accept your token of appreciation.. just that I find it difficult to choose so I don’t pass them on 🙂
u rock too, and I’m fine now! 😀
Clever. You can definitely say you told a complete story from A to Z. And it made perfect progression. I loved Zero hour.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I’ve put some of my poems to music, but just feel that that one is a little bit of nonsense, hardly worth the effort!
I love your accrostic poem – such a difficult form to make meaningful. The haiku is lovely, too.
thanks for returning the visit, Viv.. glad you liked both haiku and the acrostic.. 🙂
It was worth the visit. :]
thanks for the visit, Panda Wolf 😀
Perfect!
Love it much!
Specially how you compose it!
