An Acrostic Attempt

I've always loved acrostics, so I jumped at the challenge when HSLDA hosted a poetry contest for homeschool students a number of years ago. The topic was the night sky and had to utilize rhyming couplets While I didn't place in the finalists, it was really fun to take my poetry entry in a unique direction by utilizing the acrostic "A Starry Evening"...especially since I haven't had much experience writing in rhyming couplets so it was extra challenging:)

A Starry Evening

A starry evening begins to appear…

Stars emerge to sparkle in the sky

Twinkling merrily above so high.

A crescent moon shining bright

Radiates a soft luminescent light.

Restless animals cross the sidewalk path

Yawning as they revel in a moonlight bath.

Each night out my window I gaze,

Viewing an intricate heavenly maze.

Enjoying God’s beautiful creation,

Now reminding me of my salvation

In the blood of Jesus spilled for me

Nobility laid down, a servant to be.

God’s grace bought for a price.
