I'm working on these--honest! What a wonderful world if we ALL would just look beyond the person and find the heart. Sure, I know, there are truly bad people out there, but there are so many who are truly kind. This is a great thought--wishful thinking?--I know plenty dream of living a life where they are respected and honored as themselves....well done--very well done.

Thank you so very much!!! None of us are perfect at it, but I think most people do there best. I am fortunate to belong to a support group where this is truly the kind of relationships we have and feel that way about many I have meet here on FS too. I have found so many warm and supportive writer's here!!! Debbie

Nice triple word acrostic, Debbie.
Each one reads very smoothly like one thought. What you have said is very meaningful and I can tell you took time to think about it because the feeling is sincere.
It is a very positive trio and a basis for a good and happy life.What would we do with out friends that we can trust and share a mutual respect with/for.

This is really, really good, Debbie. I think you've done a great job with the acrostic form. Not only have you managed to define each word on it's own, but you've tied them together in a clear and concise way. Without trust and respect in a relationship, there can be no true friendship. At least, that's how I feel, and obviously you do to, because you wouldn't have been able to write this otherwise. I think your last stanza ties all your thoughts together in the best way possible. It's hard enough writing one acrostic, let alone 3 that are a perfect fit. I hope people who read this poem, take it to heart, and think about the friendships they have, and the roll they play in them. Girl, you continue to impress me and make me a feel a bit intimidated by how quickly you're talent for writing poetry has come about. I remember your mentioning at one point, you haven't been writing it all that long. I think it was in you, you just needed a reason to let it surface. Great write and read! deb

I've only been writing poetry since October. I actually joined FS to write non-fiction, but became intrigued by poetry. This one almost wrote itself. I had been thinking about trust and once I wrote that word down, it just started flowing. Thanks so much for the wonderful review Deb. Have a great day!!! Debbie

It's funny how sometimes how an idea seems to "strike a note" in your brain, and the next thing you know, the words are in front of you. I wrote something yesterday I've yet to post, but it just sort of happened. When I was thru, I reread it and I was asking myself where did this come from. LOL! Poetry, like I said, was probably in you, you just needed something to triger it.

Debbie, Nicely composed multiple acrostics of these important qualities within friendship, family, and other human connections. Yes, I noticed the overlap but that's OK as Trust and Respect are integral parts of Friendship. Blessings, Hector

A strong acrostic for Trust Respect Friendship, no words forced to meet the spelling requirements of the acrostic words
You capture the essence of these positive traits most thoughtfully Brooke

I love you sentiment. You hit the nail squarely on the head. Unfortunately it is constructed like a grocery list of improvements. I realize you are creating blank verse but to qualify as poetry you have to use some poetic conventions like alliteration, accentuated meter, allusion or assonance. God start.

Acrostic
An acrostic is a poem which spells out a word or idea. Sometimes what it spells out is the the title of the poem itself.
Example
Masqueraders
Masquerading in our midst
Are ostensibly typical people
Shouldering average tasks
Quiet, inconspicuous, drab
Until we get a closer look
Emanating is a foul odor
Rancid, putrid stench contaminating
Aura distorted to shady tint
Deception in their very souls
Extenuating their corrupt character
Rationalizing about their immorality
Shoving the blame on circumstance
- written by Gabriella 2
Usually, as in this example, the first letter of each line spells out this key word. But variations can be attempted such as having the first letter in the sentence and the last letter in the sentence spell out a word.
There are two acrostic poetry contests available at FanStory.com. View all writing contests.
More Examples
Rejoice in Life
Revel loudly with each new rising sun
Enjoy each hour until day is done
Join together with family and friends
Only in motion sweet life never ends
Invite all beautiful hearts be merry
Cherish good love and of hate be wary
Elation arises from conscience clear
Invest dearly in living without fear
No future ever comes without question
Live in the moment - the best suggestion
In this brief moment in infinite time
Find Heaven in a kiss, joy in a rhyme
Eternity waits, make this life sublime
by fayesh
An acrostic can also spell out several words.
Boots and Spurs
Boots and spurs are his attire
On the prairie 'neath the Rockies
Out where purple sage grows heavy
There astride his half-tame bronco
Sits the cattle kingdom sentry
Always welcomed by the sunrise
Near his God as each day strengthens
Daunted not by work or weather
Saddle-tough and cattle savvy
Plying well his toil in season
Using tools of his acquaintance
Rowels on silver spurs a-jingle
Send their music through the ages
