The first is an acrostic poem titled: FORGIVENESS, while the second is titled: Glory’s Bower.
Glory’s Bower
Morning glory climbing vine,
Purple, violet, red, pink, or white,
Colors of a rainbow of hope
That delivers expansion and will grope
Your archway by making it fine!
As I run through its delicacy,
I note the difference in clemency
From one side to the other, as I bravely
Cross the framed beauties, cleverly
Hoping that the other side will have more mercy.
No more than an inch separates the bower
From the white picket gate, where a shower
Of light bathes the garden bed with a cover
Of verdant hues, that shame any painter.
As I cross into this splendor,
I note colors are sharper,
Each plant has its own area, a platter
Filled with diverse shapes, sizes, and sister,
It takes away your breath in a blinker
As you tinker with nature’s fauna that never cower
To either man or nature’s
Storms that are in never ending cycles
Of births and deaths, that keep hopes
Alive in every heart, as it shows justice’s
Plight, as it ends certain lifes.
Stay in your bower of morning
Glories and enjoy the perpetual crooning
Of an ecosystem in harmony, dancing!

FORGIVENESS
Forge your will in steal,
Outmaneuver your enemies, who feel,
Replete in knowing they’re the heel.
Give them your support when they fall,
Inspire them to be better than before.
View their progress and motivate before you bore,
Inverting foe to friend, like before.
Never lose hope for betterment
Even when all is stacked against you,
Simmer the anger, put logic to the forefront
Survive, learn, educate, that hope is never gone.
