I liked your rendering of a quasi acrostic and your focus on healing during these difficult times. We should post your poem on our refrigerators so that we can be influenced by your "optimism" every day! Cheers- Joan

A cleverly written Acrostic Poem that hangs upon the letters of the word "Healing." You brought out the inherent emotion associated. I smiled at the one for letter "A."

A very well-written poem about healing. The coronavirus lockdown give nature a chance to heal and we as humans get a chance to heal spiritually and that is also a good thing. Every challenge help us to grow spiritually.

What a great meditation on the word Healing using the letters of that word in each of the lines! My favorite line was "G and remember to stay gracious as I grow stronger from those grumbles."

One spelling error:
"because I search to imbed optimism" (embed)

    Hi Helen! I just double-checked. Both words have the same meaning. Either spelling could be used; imbed and embed. Good to know. Thank you. Hearts & hugs :)

    Oh, good to know. I have only seen embed as in embedded code in programming. Thanks.

Absolutely true!!
I like the joy and happiness in
this, also the cheerful picture.
Healing is composed of all these
elements, and always so worth it.
Lovely acrostic!
Stay well,
blessings...

I like the imagery you have utilised here - the triangle, the lullaby. You reveal that this well-worded poem took a long time to write. I can see that it actually took a whole lot longer than 24 hours. It has taken all your life so far to get to this point in your healing. Stay strong.
