THE ACROSTIC POET
Featuring Personalized Poetry Gifts by Jonathan Sanford Saul
SAMPLE LOVE POEMS:
LOVERS
Let there be no smidgen of doubt remaining at all
Of the fact that lovers, above all others, heed life’s call!
Voraciously consuming ultimate together pleasure,
Effortlessly maintaining a truly transcendent tether,
Reality known well as a garden of earthly delight,
Serving up complete ecstasy by day and by night!
VANESSA
​
Vivacious describes this darling new friend,
Attractive, but serious, tough to the end,
Never does she let her guard down,
Especially when she's out about town,
Sharp and stylish, always well dressed,
So beautiful and classy, above all the rest,
A sweet young thing who runs on high test!
SAMPLE HISTORICAL POEM:
THE BREARLEY HOUSE IN MAIDENHEAD
The house was built in seventeen hundred and sixty one,
His majesty, King George the third, did the colonists shun,
Every major aspect of their lives was taxed a ton!
Brothers Joseph and David and even the latter’s son,
Readied among the local folk for what must be done,
Each played a crucial role as the hostilities begun,
Arming themselves against Redcoats and the hired Hun!
Relying on their muskets, each patriot with a gun,
Liberty was the goal and true independence was won!
Every Colony knew freedom; the world did this stun!
Yes, the great powers of Europe trembled, all did save none!
How to forge a lasting union became the new quest,
Our future did on the Constitution Conventioneers rest,
Unless they compromised, all posterity would be lost,
So young David convinced them to pay politic’s cost,
Essentially past due when the Delaware was crossed!
Instead of a figurehead leader, David he proposed,
New powers of action be in the executive enclosed!
Moreover, an assistant in waiting, he suggested,
All to smooth succession in whom power is invested,
In time proving that partisan bloodshed can be bested!
Daring, as Chief Justice, he helped guide the Constitution,
Establishing judicial review as a democratic institution!
Now the house on Meadow Lane stands as reminder of when,
Home was the Georgian Brick for Brearley women and men,
Ere will this historic structure have a story to say,
As their legacy of justice does survive to this day,
David and the Brearleys helped define the American way!
SAMPLE CANDY POEMS:
​
Creativity’s your middle name!
As logical clarity is your game!
No peer of body, visage or mane!
Darts from Cupid at you I aim!
You are the only one to blame!
​
​
Color of gold,
A wonder to behold,
Not a wrinkle or fold,
Does mar a beautiful mold,
You are perfection, all qualities told!
​
​
Creamy smooth is the texture of my love’s skin,
As comfortable a place as I’ve ever been,
Next to her only are the goddesses’ kin,
Double, for she is surely Venus’ twin:
Youthfully stunning both outside and in!
​
​
Cherries are her most favorite fruit,
And she eats them in her birthday suit!
Not one stitch will she have on,
Do not think, though, the stilettos are gone!
I know why she keeps them on her feet,
Clearly the feeling can't be beat,
Even in the snow– and that's neat!
Believe me she’s one to wear,
Red sandals when no one else will dare!
Ever does she, so the rumor mill goes,
Always roam so you can see her toes!
Really, there are sometimes when,
Love demands she shuck shoes, and then
Ever gently will I do her from head to heels,
Yearning to show her just how love feels!
Present your loved one with a unique expression of your feelings!

SAMPLE ABSTRACT PAINTINGS:
​
SAMPLE FRIENDSHIP POEMS
Bill’s the guy who gets backgrounds straight,
In cyber space his skills are great,
Leaves no stone unturned in his art quest,
Loves to google Dali to find his best!
Mostly, the kitchen is his favorite room,
Ever do his gastronomic masterpieces bloom,
Regina says no one’s as funny by half,
Zany crude antics, which cause all to laugh!
Generous as a host, exasperating as a guest,
Ultimately, he can’t help but to suggest,
Yes, all of the changes he thinks are the best!
Daredevil when it comes to being uncouth,
Ever able, however, to come up with the truth,
Noted lover who took three brides in his prime,
No longer comes early, thank God he’s on time,
Instead of simply limping on worn out knees,
Sips good wine, he does, and lives life to the lees.
Delightfully kindhearted, a marvelous cook,
Ever the one to alter recipes from the book,
Living for food, he’ll your pantry devour,
Most of the time supplies last less than an hour!
Once he begins drinking, his perspicacity gains power,
Noting life is not a rehearsal in that sonorous voice,
Then you know, as a friend, he is the best choice!
SAMPLE ANNIVERSARY POEM:
Always together these twenty five years,
Never wavering, whether joy or tears,
No challenge that we could not overcome,
A loving team, we are truly awesome!
Pressed by life’s unfairness this year past,
A woman of courage, brave and steadfast,
Living with faith and hope for posterity,
It will be alright, she would say to me!
Now I know the bliss the wise speak of,
Only with you by my side, Anna my love!
SAMPLE BIRTHDAY POEM:
How many times can I express the thought,
A miracle in thou God has surely wrought,
Perhaps Lillian and Joe knew your true value,
Purposefully loving, as indeed was your due,
Yes, treating you honestly your whole life through!
Buttressed by this steady and truthful foundation,
Insistently you’ve explored the mysteries of creation,
Reality holds great wonders and beauty, it is true,
Thoroughly portrayed by the artist that is you!
Here’s splendor laid bare by a stroke of your brush,
Delivering rhapsodies in color, oh, what a rush!
Authentically interpreted by your most accurate eye,
Yes, educing in the viewer many a moan and a sigh!
