The challenge was set,
Hoping to show them all, and
Ensuring that confusion reigned.
As the thoughts flowed, the
Yelling started within my
Ever confused mind,
Stopping my thoughts.
(Bracketing my thoughts,
Even though I could write words,
Yet today it seemed impossible,
Enduring confusion of thinking
Seemed to be the way.
Did not seem to help).
However, the moment
Appeared in my soul that
Vectored my brain into gear,
Even proved that I could write these words
In that way this acrostic appeared,
To show the challenge could be done.

- Comment from author about the poem: The Poetry Group of which I am leader meet one a month and we have a subject on which to write our own poems or read published ones on that subject. The subject today is "The Ayes (Eyes) Have It. Quite a challenge but not as much of a challenge as the wonderful piece of guitar music that I have added.

That music piece was amazing and with this morning sun I could not of asked for more, then I got it with your inspiring words.
Thank you for sharing
Mu absolute pleasure Dan, I am glad that you enjoyed it.
A fine write Gold. I've not been to a bi-monthly poetry group for a while. But they mutter and mumble - I'm the same. Should I sing to them a hymn-poem?!
Don't sing, just show them how poetry should be spoken, with a loud clear emotive voice.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes an empty mind creates the most beautiful.
Thank you Heartwriter, it is amazing what you can do with a hard challenge.
Yes it is. Our minds don't stay blank too long.
Thanks ANDY ~ The first time I heard "Recuerdos" I thought it was a Duet until John Williams gave a master Class for the Music Students and explained how it was done with ONE HAND using the tremolo technique ~ awesome. I was going to replace Django with John playing "RECUERDOS" in my latest FUSION (please visit) but now you have given us the pleasure. Angela plays Classical Guitar and it always reminds me of the Celestial Harp.
Impromptu ad hoc Poetry is a Liverpudlian Trait although Paul struggled with Yesterday ~ Perfect haunting tune ~ but sans mots ! Remember that Robbie Burns composed "To A Haggis" seated at the table ~ penned on a napkin ! That does not surprise me all his poetry has a freshness and spontaneity !
"The AYES have it" is quite a challenge but you resorted to my muse AN ACROSTIC ~ Well done ~ Yours BRIAN !
It went down well at the Poetry Group and another that I had written about 'Ayes'. Thanks for you comment.
HOLA ANDY ~ ANGELA AQUI! I couldn't resist commenting on "Memories of the Alhambra". In this difficult piece (I would never be able to play it with only one hand!) Francisco Tarrega Perfectly captures the "Dream" that is the ALHAMBRA ~ a place I love to visit and the tune haunts my mind when I close my eyes and listen to the water and sounds of nature in the adjoining "Jardines de Generalife". Mi Padre es de Andalucia so I play (amateurishly) the Classical Guitar. Recuerdos is a showcase piece for Classical Guitar and has always been my favorite. Thanks for sharing and giving me a lovely memory 11,000 miles away from Granada, it made me CRY! . Con Amor por Tu y Joyce ~ ANGELA
Thank you for your kind comment Angela, it is certainly a wonderful piece of music. Thank you for thinking of Joyce.
VERY NICE GOLDY,AS ALWAYS,
Thank you Melissa, most kind.
