Christmas Acrostic: Cry Eternal Herald Angels

Cry Eternal Herald Angels - a Christmas Acrostic

 C ry eternal herald angels
'H ere is mercy come to man!'
 R ighteous ones will see His glory
 I n every nation, every land.
 S evering the chains that bind us,
 T ies of death will be released,
 M aking us the heir of ages
 A uthored by the Prince of Peace--
 S avior and our souls' reprieve.

This is an Easter poem written in the acrostic form which I signed away the rights to (so I can't repost it here, but I can share the link!)

Poems for St. Patrick's Day

I meant to type these out and share them earlier, but time got away from me this week. Here are the links to my St. Patrick's Day poems:

Mother's Day and All Things Spring!

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter. You did such an amazing job rising to the challenge of sharing your Easter poetry, that I thought I would issue another challenge. It is spring here in North America, so I thought about issuing a Spring challenge, but I realize for our friends down under, it isn't Spring! Mother's Day is also coming up. I am aware not every country celebrates Mother's Day, but I believe most of us can come up with a poem honoring mothers. Mother's Day is the 2nd Sunday in May. So feel free to share a nice seasonal poem, whatever your season might be, or a poem honoring mothers... or whatever else the Lord puts on your heart.

I have two Mother's Day poems up on another site which has exclusive rights, so I can only share the links:

Mothers and Daughters: a Mother's Day Haiku
A poem about the relationship between mothers and daughters in the haiku form.

Mother's Day Acrostic Poem
A poem for Mother's Day in the acrostic form.

Easter Poems!

I hope some of you will consider some poems with an Easter theme in the next few weeks! I have three up on another site I would love for you to check out. I will be posting some in this blog in April and hope you will, too!

Valentine - an Acrostic Love Poem

V elvety romantic nights,
A dmiring the glowing moon
L ambent in the darkened sky.
E ntranced by this lovely sight,
N estled, we exist in tune,
T wo hearts which God has drawn nigh,
I n this most enchanted time
N eeding only your gentle sigh -
E ach breath of my Valentine.

Halloween Acrostic

I have a Halloween poem up that is a different look at the ghosts which haunt us. It was my challenge to avoid the usual references to witches, vampires and other demonic elements, but keep it somewhat dark. It is from a Christian perspective, which is why I eschewed witches and demons, but it may be a little dark to repost here, so I'll just share the link.

If you would like to read it, check out my Halloween Acrostic.
