Resolution (An Acrostic)

AuburnScribbler

Relax, and take in a deep controlled breath, and

Embrace in the fact, that you have survived that horrid

Sombre year, so, with the world and us; now on the mend,

Open up that closed door, the one that has been tightly

Locked to you, as you’ve cried and screamed for too long, thus

Unshackle yourself from the hate that you’ve banked, as it’s

Time for you to be you, for true, no more shadows for you to

Imagine in, as this year, your dreams will be realised, thus

Obtain, not with shame, but be loud and proud, and please don’t

Neglect, your smile will come, but only if you choose it to.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Happy New Year to you everyone! Let's hope that 2021 is much better than 2020! So with that in mind, this is my first poem of the year, that will kick off a new collection of poems of mine entitled "Redemption Papers". Last year's collection was called "Plenty Twenty" but "plenty" it was not! Of course, this time of year we look at what resolutions we can make to improve ourselves; or to make life a little sweeter, thus, I give you this acrostic. Hope you enjoy, and please do take care.

    Sound advise and a good read.

    • AuburnScribbler

      Thanks, Jerry!

      Hope that you are well, and that you have had a good day!

      Neat acrostic. It might be more easily read if you left-aligned the poem, rather than using MyPoeticSide's default middle axis. It's always a bit of a chore to get it to do that, but it can be done.

      • AuburnScribbler

        Thanks for reading Robert, hope that you are well.

        Yeah, I will try the left-aligned option with the next acrostic I post, to see whether the format will be a lot clearer.

        Thanks again, and please do take care.

        • Robert Southwick Richmond

          You can left-align your present post, using the "edit" feature. To left-align, click on the left-align icon in the ruler bar, enter your text, then click on it again. That'll usually work, though MyPoeticSide really does try to enforce the damn middle axis.

          • AuburnScribbler

            I have used the left-aligned option and it does look a lot clearer now, but I feel visually it has lost a little bit of it's charm, but I will keep it like this; if it's a general improvement.

            Thanks again, and please do take care.

              You could further accentuate the acrostic by bold-facing the initial letters, or even setting them in slightly larger type. Different fonts will probably accentuate them differently. MyPoeticSide does offer quite a lot of options like this, once you figure out how to use them.

              Very good acrostic Ben, that smile will always be with us.

                Thanks, Andy, and yes, for definite we have got to keep our smiles, even in frustrating times such as this.

                Thanks again, and please do take care.

                A good write Ben.
                I ain't opening that door much this weather though! lol.

                • AuburnScribbler

                  Thanks, orchidee, and if travelling more is part of your resolution, I agree, let the storms pass bless you! Hahaha!

                  Thanks again, and please do take care.
