Chronic
Ebullience
Lilting appeal
Enamored awe
Begs music’s throb
Rise in an ecstatic fever
Assuaging pain like a sonata
Triumph over each win and defeat
Illuminations all around extended radii
Over and above, where one sees a magic halo
New year’s ’round the corner. Enjoy and have fun
Sing to the times ahead. Soak up some joy, partake in bliss


*This Double acrostic posted for Poetry Potluck (Celebrations and Festivities) and Nimue’s Months Of The Year Challenge (December)!! *

**I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my readers and Jingle for these lovely awards at the Thursday Poets Rally! Without you, none of this would ever be possible… **

  37. Eric says:

    Very clever arrangement, Kavita.

    (Next time, use the letters in CHRISTMAS) ;)

  38. Eric says:

    Cleverly arranged, Kavita!

    Maybe next time you can use the letters to spell-out CHRISTMAS.

  39. cloakedmonk says:

    Amazing! I especially like that the shape is reminiscent of a Christmas tree which suits this season of celebrations so well!

    • Kavita says:

      Gee…thanks a ton for noticing the shape, CloakedMonk.. that was my intention… and if you think about it, it also looks like some vague stem of an even vaguer wine glass :)
      Glad you liked this poem so much, my friend…

  40. Kim Nelson says:

    Such fun! Beautiful in sentiment and form.

  41. mstevensson says:

    Amazing work K. Really like how you crafted this in the shape of a tree (I assume intentionally) and the use of the same characters at start and end of lines was well done. Poem reads smoothly and was excellent :)

    • Kavita says:

      You assumed right, Mark!! I also wanted the poem to look like the stem of a glass (the picture over the poem) :) Glad you liked the double acrostic… yaaayyy!! It was my first attempt at it!! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement, my friend.. it really means a great deal to me!!
      Oh, and by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D
      xoxox
