How I Love Ice Cream!

Hannah Mulliken has written this acrostic in Spanish and I love it!

HELADO
by Hannah Mulliken

Helado es frío y
Espumoso;
Lechoso y puro como
Azucar. Es muy
Dulce.
¡O, tanto me gusta el helado!

Ed Pacht: The Writing on the Wall

Belshazzar's Wall
an acrostic


Many men making merry,
Eating freely of the substance of the land
Never giving thought to their Creator
Even offering insult to their God


Money flowing oh-so-freely
Every pleasure is with passion sought
No god worshiped but great Mammon
Endless blasphemies in them abound


Those who worship at that altar
Each pursuing his own right
Killing there their unborn children
Ending lives almost begun
Living thus in phony freedom


Unless they shall now mend their ways
Prostrate lying at the feet of God
His hand shall come to rest upon them
And they shall know the cost of sin
Repent, He says, amend your ways
Seek forgiveness at the Cross
In sorrow come to seek His joy
Now and evermore. Amen.

Hannah's Acrostic

Just and
Everlasting,
Sovereign and
Understanding is our
Savior, Lord and King.

Acrostic for Hannah Mulliken

In an acrostic poem the initial or ending letters form a word or phrase. To the right appears an acrostic which spells and describes the lemur.

Here is another. What does it spell?

Rises

Early

This was written by one of our friends, Ed Pacht, a poet from New Hampshire:

Acrostic for an Author

Hidden in an obscure home.
Anonymous, the true king waits.
Not knowing what his destiny will be,
Nor the mighty throne that shall be his;
And unaware that greatness marks his soul,
Humility is his royal vesture.

Many seek to rule his kingdom,
Under false impression of their worth,
Little knowing that their aim is folly,
Little knowing that there stands among them,
Innocently thinking he is but a child,
Kay the king to whom belongs the sword that
Even mighty men cannot take up and wield.
Now he does, and now begins his reign.
