Gardens are GREAT!

I love that you used the word NIRVANA, which makes a superb closing note to this fine acrostic. I especially loved these lines:

Eloquent
Curlicues
Rigged
Engagingly,

I also applaud your choice to use single-word lines but to accentuate this line by giving it three alliterated words:

Really righteously raisable

No sixes left, but here is a virtual one: ******

Dear Rd, it's so nice to hear from you and I appreciate your warm review. I especially appreciate the special attention you put into showing your own personal perspective I know the way that you read between the lines. and trust me I'm not looking for success, I'm looking for loyal friends with you. I've been one. There is a part 2 to this but I'm not going to break the rules by mentioning any names but you'll find it has a very similar name to this and it's filled with metaphor. On a side note, I think you would be interested in knowing that one of the metaphor for example the person who's left, is a remembrance of a good friend I met on New year's Eve 1989 and who passed away in 1995.
Again, I appreciate your support and your wonderful perspective.

Blessings,

Brother Badger Cull

Hello, brother badger,

Nice presentation. I would like to attain Nirvana but I'll be happy with some peace of mind. Well done my friend.

This long staircase to the bridge is nicely manicured with a beautifully colorful garden. It is still somewhat secret because we don't know its exact location, just what it looks like.
Well done acrostic. That one longer line uses alliteration well.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from DeboraDyess

Hi!
I enjoyed your poem -- clever!!
I wasn't crazy about your 'R' line. The others seemed concise and that one rambled a bit. I'd pick a word and go with it. :) But that would be MY acrostic, so take that for what you paid for it. :)
Well done! I enjoyed much.
Blessings,
Deb

I enjoy the fact that you unraveled the secret so that we could all visit the secret garden with you; a misnomer indeed. On the whole, I find acrostic poems difficult to embrace, as people often force words to fit the starting letters. I encourage my students to use the starting letter to begin a stanza rather than a single word. The outcomes are generally better. You though are not 9 years old! You have better word choice!

I had dirt beneath my fingernails this past weekend - now have curlicues, tumbling vines, and righteous dirt... all arranged and watered and looking and feeling a bit like Nirvana, I believe. Nice acrostic!
