Acrostic, NaPoWriMo 2020

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Leonas Lines

Lingers long, loving life, liking leisure,

Evades every evil equally

Opts out of oral offenses

Needs niceness, no negativity

Adventurous, amicable, appreciative

NaPoWriMo Day 23 Prompt: write a poem about a particular letter of the alphabet

For today’s prompt I kind of adjusted it a bit and chose to use more than one letter so to fit into an Acrostic form and used my own name to fit my characteristics (as I see them to be) describing the words of each letter.

And….since I have an artistic side I was led to create the poem into a personalized alphabet art acrostic name wall hanging using some of my various original alphabet art images.

Leona-name Art — Alphabet Art by Leona J. Atkinson

I am my mother’s face in the mirror,

As I speak her favorite quotes

To myself, that “This Too Shall Pass”.

I am dad’s voice echoing,

“Don’t Forget, Smell The Flowers”.

I am God’s Spirit,

Reflecting Him

To the world,

At this

Time.

A Noel Anagram poetry — Original Poetry by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

This poem was created from an Anagram challenge. I wrote it using words found in my name Leona. I have always liked the fact that my name spelled backwards was “a noel”, so this was a fun challenge for me!

February’s Farewell

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Leonas Lines

Sunshine ends the day!
February’s grand finale!
March winds blowing in,
Bringing the promise of Spring,
To the weary winter worn earth.

Wisdom
And Adventure
Sit upon my shelves
Pages of words waiting to be read
By me
Each day
Stories and poems enrich my days
Emotionally filling
My heart and soul
With joy

Kissed by the sunshine
The path seems so inviting
A rose blooms ahead

Liquid Art

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Leonas Lines

rain on windshield — “Liquid Art”
Original Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson

Rain
Falling
Forms patterns
On my windshield
Droplet diamonds
Dotted aqua circles
Spheres creating a maze on glass
Misty pearl like aqueous scene
Continually changing liquid web
Instantly swept away as wipers do their job
