Togetherness – a different kind of love poem

On September 11, 2023 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems, Poetry63 Comments

Togetherness in Isolation

Isolation could slide into a deafening-silence loneliness,
Suppression of joy needing a breath of a gentle breeze,
Or it could fashion new moments with love and
Laughter even with a faint line of essential distance.
Adapting to this unique state of ‘togetherness’
Takes time like slow healing of energy – it’s not the
Ideal means of making postcard memories, but who needs
Ordinary? For the both of us in these circumstances, there is
Nothing like being comfort and company while isolating together!

letting inspiration in during Covid
finding the silver lining
finding the smiles

Positive – An Acrostic Poem

On September 9, 2023 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems, Poetry76 Comments

Pink lines dictate rules for the near future with
Ominous news initially because of the unknown.
Scattered thoughts from this positive result of what will unfold –
Initiation after three and a half years of
Taking care of self and counting six feet from others.
Isolating from humans, but not from the warmth of nature.
Variant, new, old, irrelevant – time to buckle down while
Eager to enter into civilization once again.

A first time for everything, I suppose, and this is a first for hubby and me. It’s probably just as well we get Covid at the same time. But the worst part is over, fever and major fatigue. Now only mild symptoms that we have to plough through until we test negative. The sun is shining. The sky is bright and blue and lovely. We have our patio and backyard to visit nature and breathe in some fresh air. I think we’re both feeling a bit underwater from tasks needing our attention. But with low energy, we can’t push ourselves. We can only do so much before resting again. It is what it is. We just want to get better so we can enter society again, and we will. Patience. Rest. Patience. Rest.

Anyway, thank you for stopping by and stay well!
This is the second lost weekend for us, so enjoy yours!
Go outdoors and mingle with Nature! 🩷

You Rock – Own it!

On November 19, 2018February 26, 2019 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems, Poetry52 Comments

Care less about what others think
Own up to your awesomeness
Nourish your hopes and dreams
Find light, even if it is obscured
Improvise, if necessary
Dance, celebrating the true you
Encourage others who live in darkness
Never give into negative criticism
Calm is always the best choice
Enjoy life by living in your happiness

Everyone owns it, but sometimes it slips out of grip. The truth is even if you feel insecure, looking and acting confident will not only make you feel better, but others will perceive you in that positive way. Walk with your head up, chin up, and notice what and who is around, i.e., be aware of your surroundings. In doing so, you will appear strong to others. The more you practice this, the more confident you’ll feel, which will cause a ripple effect of positive thoughts, emotions, and actions in your life.

On this positive note, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and let us remember to be thankful not only on this one day, but throughout the entire year. And with these words, I continue to keep the fire victims in CA in my heart and prayers.

With Love & Friendship, Lauren 🧡🧡🧡

Forever Love – Acrostic

On July 30, 2014July 30, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems45 Comments

Faint is how you make me feel and not
Only when our lips connect, but when I
Remember our first embrace and how my
Emotions twirled inside of me; dizzy and
Voiceless I was and those moments still exist
Even though decades have come and gone
Reflections of those first days are magical
Learning the true meaning of bliss, an
Out of the ordinary feeling, knowing you are my
Valentine, lover and friend for the rest of our life and for
Eternity~

For those of you who have been following me
for awhile now, you know that I’m a romantic,
never hopeless, though. So because I’ve
been in a sentimental, sappy kind of mood,
I’m re-posting this from two years ago,
written for my hubby. If you’ve already seen this,
I appreciate you reading again! 🙂 ♥

See you next year! ♥

Dear Friends,

It’s been a busy time now with our daughter home from college for the holidays and hubby and I are enjoying our full house again with her and our son! So I haven’t been online as much and I’m sorry for missing your wonderful posts. I always feel really bad when I can’t stay caught up. Anyway, this will be the last one for me for 2013. However, I’ll still try to visit blogs when I can..
I won’t completely fall off the radar! 🙂

I wish you an abundance of love, peace, laughter and many new wonderful memories during this holiday season. And a big “Thank You” for your visits, as well as, for supporting the arrival of my debut poetry book. I appreciate all of you! Sending many hugs, much love and I wish you a safe and Happy New Year, too!
I’ll see you in 2014! ♥

May this holiday find you smiling
Enjoying priceless times with loved ones
Rejoicing in the birth of our Dear Savior
Realizing your blessings and finding peace
Yearning for the Holy birthday of the year
Caring for others who need their spirits lifted
Hosting family and friends in cozy get-togethers
Remembering, any act of kindness is truly a gift
Imagining the festive spirit throughout the New Year
Seeing the delight and wonder through a child’s eyes
Taking time and letting God’s loving light shine through you
Making magical moments that will turn into precious memories
Allowing yourself tranquility in the midst of the seasonal chaos
Silently saying a prayer for those who are in need of God’s healing grace

Saturday – Acrostic

On July 20, 2013July 20, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Acrostic Poems, Poetry31 Comments

Sunrise calls early, an

alarm, golden, intense

tickling with its rays, sending an

undercurrent to venture outside and

renew spirits with beauty surrounding,

diving into soothing ocean’s song,

abandoning heavy burdens in mind,

yesterday becoming today’s gift

ENJOY YOUR DAY! ♥

Friend Acrostic ♥

For who wants to be alone?
Reveling in life’s joy or weeping
In between those moments; I’ll be your
Everlasting support, a listening heart,
Never will I take you for granted, for you are a
Dear soul who I can grow with, without growing apart

Sending Warm Holiday Wishes ♥

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

It’s been three months since I’ve blogged
and I’ve missed you all!
This acrostic poem is from last year,
but the meaning is just as sincere.
Some of you know why I’ve been absent and for now,
things are stable, but I’m still unsure about returning
to blogland. However, I couldn’t let this year end
without sending my sincere holiday wishes.
So, I wish for you Love, Peace, Hope and Miracles
this Christmas season and not only in the New Year to come,
but for forever~
