A multi-versed acrostic poem written in response to several writing prompts. Black text on white background: Her instructions were clear: Everyone else comes first Always be modest Lower your gaze and smile How long had she carried Each blunt daybreak inside Allowing the night its moody sway - Leaving molten rents in her soul Heaven forfend should Eerie sounds slip from her lips! A howl and a growl Loiter in silence no more Heightened awareness now: Elasticity and electricity Abounds and rebounds Leaping skyward and beyond … How ever you now drift, cloudlike, or Enter into yon river’s gentle pull - Allow this first precious moment and Let your incandescence rise ----------------------------- #Cassiopeian | #heal @yeehawpoems.bsky.social #emoetry | #modest #acrostic #poetry #poem

I lived a #modest charade
With an honest jacket that
Was #bonny in the #end tirade.

#Modest

humble once meant
earthy —
a reminder
we are made

but modest signals
restraint,
propriety

and I wonder
where life is lived

in those places

of earth
and enough

#Emoetry prompt for 3/11 is #modest

Mellow, mostly by choice.
Okay with the sidelines.
Dismissing all the praise.
Effortlessly low-profile.
Silent about my wins.
Taming the inner ego.

modest in their bloom,
beautiful from far away,
wildflowers just sway

You're so #modest,
on the podest
You're so #bonny,
hair like honey
Don't try #escape
through #weed or vape
Only #twenty,
time a-plenty
#Volunteer time,
don't commit crime
Try to live your
life: gift not chore

A MORNING I'm hydrating the sleep from my eyes while the storm outside brews a question and a possible answer. I've left the grief lying in my bed. She's still dreaming of a bonny birth that will fix everything even if it eradicates us. My catharsis is a metaphor writ on tea leaf skin with a needle that shivers in a stoic hand. Palliatives are a modest art. I've heard people say that we all create a masterpiece sometime. I'm finding it not in my ink but in my experiences and everything with which I move.

My original intent with this one was to write something cozy but it turned into something much deeper.

Soft of voice
#modest in demeanour
speaks only
when spoken to
stays within her sphere
does not interfere
so when the power shifts
she is overlooked
she is not a coward
she just bides her time

‪I don't want to crow
about all my
fantastic achievements
highlight them
for all to see
take the plaudits
for all that I've done
I will just be
modest
humble
unassuming

Modest attire for
A vampire, though certainly
Easy to blend in.

When it
comes to my
poetic abilities
I must be #modest
I have the poetic skill set
of a novice to be
honest my skills
need a little more
polish just getting
back to writing
after 28 years
look what I’ve
accomplished
Climbing that
poetic mountain
Until I reach the peak ✍🏾

#vss365 #lightning #harmony #Emoetry #modest

No sky-shattering passion with tornados
Just harmony with modest lightning strikes-
that's pure devoted love which shan't close.

#emoetry #vss365 #poetry

A hymn for the holy,
A sin in disguise—
His mistress in music,
And well-practised lies.

No #modest refrain;
Glissando will reign.
She slinks into places
True #harmony won’t claim.

Too proud for the altos,
Too base for the lead,
This semisoprano
Where shadows will feed.
