Friends of Gaia gather round, Open up your loving hearts Return the love you have received: Love the self, that first of much; Inspire the tired, lack-lustre ones, Fire them with the Earth's sure touch. Earth has bounty still in store. All creation joins the song (Nations clamour still for more), Delights to greet each golden crop Looks to man to mind the shop (Oh,shame, not all crops reach the shelves), Violence is to ourselves. Earth, begin again today!.......................................................................
A tad too late for your Thanksgiving, I tried to find a related theme. *Acrostic = The initial letters of each line spell out its theme.

You may want to review the second-to-last line to round out the acrostic... But this makes for a wonderful example. Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with the blessings of friends and family...
Nice one Dave. You managed it easily. My wish is the same as yours. Get life back to basics once more and stop the endless lust for greed.
I get that you were shooting to say people could care for and feed each other better. But I missed a few things:
Questions:
(1) "Fire them" ?? Is this a good thing in your dialect of English?
(2) FORLIF E ANDLSV E ? "For Life and LSVE? What is that last word suppose to be?

Thanks for pointing out the error. In fact, I missed out the "Oh! making the last word "love".
And thanks again for a great prompt. Blessings to you and yours.

Thanks. Yes, we're on the same wavelength here.

Thanks for the inquiries.
1: "Fire them" here means enthuse them, motivate them, encourage them etc.
2: As explained above: should have been "Love" -- as per the title.
ha well played....the parenthesis lines help mask the form...and out hearts beat similar drums man...
life and love...!!thankyou
"Earth, begin again today!" YES!
A fine acrostic, Dave.
Dipped in optimism... loved your piece! and thanks... got to know this new style 'Acrostic' from your blogpost :-)

very nice...there's a wonderful flow in this...and isn't it wonderful that the earth really always begins again right after the harvest...
Ha - very clever! A wonderful prayer. k.
This sounds like a hymn as I read it in my head.
Great acrostic Dave! Hope your Thanksgiving was great too!

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot
of spam responses? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
